This movie is a personal favorite of mine. Though hardcore movie enthusiasts have snubbed me for liking so much what is considered "Truffaut's worst work". Nevertheless, I always enjoyed Ray Bradbury books during my formative years. Aside from the massive plot-hole (more like a chasm) of how a fireman - or anyone - is at all literate in Bradbury's vision of the future, the story has always intrigued me

Plot summary for:
From the Ray Bradbury novel, Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature that paper will burst into flame. Oskar Werner plays a fireman who does not put out fires, but who searches out books and burns them. Books make people unhappy. In a parody of social correctness, all discordant strains are removed. The world is a lonely one of separate people in which Werner begins to read the books before burning them. Written by John Vogel
