What most ensemble films lack in cohesiveness, Six in Paris finds in historical context. Forty years later, it is an essential testament of the French New Wave's energy, ingenuity and aesthetic.

Overview
Six vignettes set in different sections of Paris, by six directors. St. Germain des Pres (Douchet), Gare du Nord (Rouch), Rue St. Denis (Pollet), and Montparnasse et Levallois (Godard) are stories of love, flirtation and prostitution; Place d'Etoile (Rohmer) concerns a haberdasher and his umbrella; and La Muette (Chabrol), a bourgeois family and earplugs.

The greatest pleasure is seeing an oily, hideous Claude Chabrol and his wife at the time, Stephane Audran, in his La Muette, playing a more odious version of the bickering, bourgeois couple that Chabrol would later specialize in savaging.
Melissa Anderson, Time Out New York
Rotten
Disappointingly lightweight.
Tom Milne, Time Out
Rotten
If the six different locales are a standard Cook's Tour of the capital, most of the principals, however fleetingly, make Parisians, not Paris, diverting, if not memorable.
A.H. Weiler, New York Times

Probably the best of the anthology films that were briefly in vogue in the early 60s.
