...cool, scar-faced tough guy, who goes around telling Division Three Seductresses, "Listen, baby, I'm old enough to find my own broads. So get lost." He is the character American actor Eddie Constantine created on French television after Constantine flopped in the U.S. Now he's Jean-Luc Godard's hero in the French auteur's latest flick to hit the Brattle's screen, "Alphaville...
