From this "inexorable disease", Hervé Guibert did not recover. The miracle he had so much hoped for did not happen. But, before his death in 1991, three years after learning of his HIV-positive status, he engraved in his literary and photographic work "the places of [his] suffering", "the stations of [his] way of the cross". With his thin body and sunken cheeks, the handsome man with curly hair that he was, the one whose clear gaze radiated from the seaside photos, fought a fierce battle against AIDS. A fight of every moment against the decay of the body, observed and commented with a methodical care in his autobiographical novels, in particular "To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life" (1990) and "The Compassionate Protocol" (1991), and of which he testified on television on the set of "Apostrophes"...

Director Jean Delannoy's immediate followup to his brilliant Les Jeux sont Faits was the more conventional Aux Yeux du Souvenir (aka Souvenir and To the Eyes of Memory). The film is based on a true story, wherein an France airliner managed to survive a journey from Rio De Janeiro to Dakar with two of its engines incapacitated. To this already intensely dramatic situation has been added a romantic subplot involving Claire Magny (Michele Morgan) and Jacques Forester (Jean Marais). The love story adds very little to the film; fortunately, neither does it detract from the film's overall quality. As was the case with many French productions of the 1940s, Aux Yeux du Souvenir benefits immeasurably from the Wagnerian musical score by Georges Auric.

El héroe de guerra desahuciado Chuck Scott consigue trabajo como chofer de un gángster llamado Eddie Roman. Chuck no tardará en conocer a la temerosa mujer de su jefe: entonces su vida se convertirá en una pesadilla. La adaptación más controvertida de un relato de Woolrich entre sus seguidores, The Chase está basada en la novela de 1944 The Black Path of Fear, que era, a su vez, un desarrollo del cuento "Havana Night". El guión fue obra de Philip Yordan, que tenía una tendencia a subvertir, o violar, historias de género (ver por ejemplo su western de la Guerra Fría Johnny Guitar, centrado en personajes femeninos), y el film fue dirigido por Arthur Ripley. Ripley era una rara elección para el caso, ya que había trabajado sólo esporádicamente en los márgenes del sistema de Hollywood, y nunca logró un éxito masivo, aunque su último film, Thunder Road (1958), es todavía hoy un film de culto. No era sorprendente que esta combinación de dos talentos excéntricos produjera un film extraño.
