NO SMOKING! Guy Montag is a fireman of the future, but he doesn't put fires out...he STARTS THEM! This adaptation of the Ray Bradbury novel is directed by Francois Truffaut and stars Oskar Werner as Montag. In the near future books are banned, and readers are rebels against society. The firemen cruise around on their fire engine carrying out property searches, and any books they find are promptly set alight ( 451ยบ F is the temperature at which paper burns) in public.Dissatisfied with his aimless life, Montag steals a book and reads it in secret... This fine film is somewhat dated now, but has a fine sense of style, plus some good performances.Unfortunately
