The Marschak talk scheduled for January 21 has been postponed due to the fires in Los Angeles.  A new date for the program will be coordinated and announced when possible. Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe. Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Speaker: Colin Allen, Distinguished Professor in the department of philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara Drawing on interviews and other work that is being done for a book about the history and philosophy of "mathematical psychology,” Colin Allen will characterize mathematical psychologists as a self-identified community within psychology, united by their approach to mathematical modeling, mentoring lineages and institutional structures such as a journal, and societies on three continents organizing conferences and summer schools. Mathematical psychologists have recently been vocal about the need for psychology to move in a more mathematical direction, inspired partly by the so-called “replication crisis” which many of them believe is actually a “theory crisis.” In this talk, Allen will at the arguments of three prominent mathematical psychologists and argue that while mathematical psychology does not lack small “t” theories, it has been arguably less successful in formulating big “T" Theories that have the kind of scope, generality, and predictive power that led Wigner to write of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in physics. This talk is offered both in person and online. Light refreshments will be served. Location: Charles E. Young Research Library

In keeping with les enfants terribles of the French New Wave, Luc Moullet’s debut feature centers post-war French youth culture as exemplified by a pair of university-bound young women named Brigitte whose sense of individuality is shaken after they meet and compare demographic notes. Embracing their generational similarities, they set out together to tackle the challenges of urban life from housing to study to activism to boys. Though not as stylistically innovative as other New Wave works, Brigitte and Brigitte exudes a sense of freedom with a number cinematic rebels making cameos including Samuel Fuller, Claude Chabrol, Éric Rohmer and André Téchiné. DCP, b&w, in French with English subtitles, 75 min. Director: Luc Moullet. Screenwriter: Luc Moullet. With: Françoise Vatel, Colette Descombes, Claude Melki. Anatomy of a Relationship Anatomie d'un rapport, France, 1976 New digital restoration! Luc Moullet shares directing credit with his wife and frequent collaborator, Antonietta Pizzorno, on this earnest exploration of the breakdown of a relationship that doubles as a knowing takedown of the solipsistic men who make them. Intimate in form and content, the entire piece unfolds in tight interior spaces roiled by social and cultural forces outside. There’s no shortage of cringe moments as He (Moullet) struggles to maintain his dignity and She (Christine Hébert) lays bare her dissatisfaction and desire for change with their back and forth culminating in a meta struggle for control of the camera itself. DCP, b&w, in French with English subtitles, 82 min. Directors: Luc Moullet, Antonietta Pizzorno. Screenwriters: Luc Moullet, Antonietta Pizzorno. With: Luc Moullet, Christine Hébert, Antonietta Pizzorno. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. In an acclaimed, half-century-long career, Academy Award-nominated actor Peter Falk will be forever remembered as “Lt. Columbo,” one of the most beloved characters in the history of the small screen. The brainchild of Television Academy Hall of Fame inductees Richard Levinson and William Link, the iconic Columbo character first appeared on the Chevy Mystery Show episode “Enough Rope” in 1960. However, that NBC “living color” production featured actor Bert Freed as the unassuming detective, some seven years before Falk would star in the first of two separate pilots (airing in 1968 and 1971) required to convince network executives to advance the unconventional Columbo concept to series. For the ensuing three decades, Falk proved indelible as the disheveled genius sleuth, with the actor’s own persona seemingly indistinguishable from the eponymous role for which he would eventually win four Emmy Awards. While the show’s revival on ABC in 1989 was successful enough to continue into the early aughts, it is the original NBC network run from 1971–1978 that has achieved continued worldwide cult status. Those evergreen episodes, including the inaugural installment directed by an emerging young talent named Steven Spielberg, display an unusually high degree of quality for primetime programming of the ’70s — due in part to Falk’s pressing influence on the studio. But just one more thing: the staying power of the series and its eminent rewatchability is above all a testament to Falk’s complete immersion in the well-rumpled role that fit him like … an old raincoat. —Mark Quigley, John H. Mitchell Television Curator Special thanks to our community partner: Academy of Television Arts & Sciences(opens in a new tab). Columbo: “Murder by the Book” U.S., 9/15/1971 Cinema maestro Steven Spielberg famously began his legendary career as a wunderkind at Universal Studios — directing television programs ranging from an acclaimed segment in the Night Gallery horror pilot to this first post-pilot episode of Columbo. Spielberg delivers one of the finest (and most visually striking) installments of the entire series run, aided by a pitch-perfect performance by Jack Cassidy as a vain, smirking mystery writer who severely underestimates his perpetually unkempt adversary. DCP, color, 72 min. NBC. Production: Universal Television. Producers: Richard Levinson, William Link. Director: Steven Spielberg. Writer: Steven Bochco. With: Peter Falk, Jack Cassidy, Barbara Colby, Martin Milner. 24th Annual Emmy Awards [excerpt] U.S., 5/14/1972 Peter Falk accepts an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Continued Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Dramatic Series for Columbo/“NBC Mystery Movie.” DCP, color, 3 min. Clip courtesy of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Special thanks to Laurel Whitcomb, Jenni Matz. Columbo: “Double Shock” U.S., 3/25/1973 As originally broadcast with NBC Mystery Movie opening, network bumpers and commercials! Directors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Robert Butler helmed this superb Columbo entry with an unparalleled twist. Academy Award winner Martin Landau stars in a dual role as identical twins, one possibly implicated in a horrific, cold-blooded murder. Butler masterfully sustains suspense to the final act, delivering scene-stealing moments for Falk along the way — from Columbo guesting on a TV cooking show segment to his unraveling of a prim housekeeper (Jeanette Nolan) infuriated by his involuntary untidiness. DCP, color, 90 min. NBC. Production: Universal. Producer: Dean Hargrove. Director: Robert Butler. Writers: Steven Bochco, Jackson Gillis, Richard Levinson, William Link. With: Peter Falk, Martin Landau, Jeanette Nolan. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

The box office opens one hour before the event. The Smugglers Les Contrebandières, France, 1968 New digital restoration! The rugged beauty of the French Alps is an intense backdrop for any story and Luc Moullet makes the most of the contrast with his shaggy satire of the action film. A customs agent runs a smuggling operation across the border of two fictional warring countries keeping a romantic partner on either side of the demarcation line to help. When the two women discover each other, they form an uneasy trio running contraband, evading the authorities, producing agitprop and negotiating modern sexual mores. Moullet throws touches of surrealism and the nonsensical into the unstable mix. DCP, b&w, in French with English subtitles, 81 min. Director: Luc Moullet. Screenwriter: Luc Moullet. With: Françoise Vatel, Monique Thiriet, Johnny Monteilhet. A Girl is a Gun Une aventure de Billy le Kid, France, 1971 New digital restoration! French New Wave icon Jean-Pierre Léaud stars in Luc Moullet’s bizarro Western as a gun-slinging outlaw who stumbles across a beautiful woman (Rachel Kesterber) with a secret while on the run from a posse across the scorching desert. Unreleased in France at the time, the film played internationally in an English dubbed version that gave Léaud the deep voice of a Hollywood B-movie actor much to Moullet’s delight. Such goofy contrasts abound in a film that features both stunning landscapes and obviously fake mustaches as Moullet revels in making a Western even as he dismantles it. DCP, color, in French and English with English subtitles, 78 min. Director: Luc Moullet. Screenwriter: Luc Moullet. With: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Rachel Kesterber, Jean Valmont. Location: Billy Wilder Theater
