"If in 20 years we're not mad at each other, we'll do a sequel," declared French Director Claude Lelouch, after winning a 1966 Cannes Film Festival award for his classic romance, A Man and a Woman. Well, the time has passed, and they are not mad at each other. Lelouch has just finished A Man and a Woman: 20 Years Later, which is scheduled for release this spring. "Give me some time, I'll call you in six months," Anouk Aimee told Jean-Louis Trintignant at the close of the first film. Somehow she didn't, and neither did he. But when they finally meet again, the old magic is there (not to mention the old music style, with Francis Lai again composing). Aimee's Anne has gone from being a script girl to a successful movie producer, and Trintignant's Jean-Louis from a racing-car driver to a designer of race courses. "Jean-Louis is superb," says Aimee, 53. "Anouk is as beautiful as ever," responds Trintignant, 55. Some things, it seems, never change. Chabadabada dabadabada.
