Description by OLDIES.com:
Montag (Oskar Werner), a regimented fireman in charge of burning the forbidden volumes, meets a revolutionary school teacher who dares to read. Suddenly he finds himself a hunted fugitive, forced to choose not only between two women, but between personal safety and intellectual freedom. Truffaut's first English language production is an eerie fable where mankind becomes the ultimate evil.

I'm not quite sure just how lacking in emotion the characters in this film were supposed to be, but I think the acting could have been played with much deeper "conviction of character" than Christie and Werner did. But, opinions are kinda like rear ends... everybody has one. The settings are as cold and emotionless as the characters. Even the hard-core party apparatchiks bluster and give orders, but seem to not really care about what they are so fervently supposed to believe in: the suppression of all free thought and total subjugation of the mind to the state. And in the end, when Werner has found his "free-thinkers' utopia", they all, too, seem devoid of any real happiness or satisfaction with their new-found freedom. If that is the way Truffaut meant for the film to come across, he succeeded capably, but, in my humble opinion, not admirably.
