I love Leaud in Julien Duvivier's "Boulevard" which appeared right after "400 Blows". His Pigalle-street-kid act is allowed full rein and it's an endearing performance.

iirc Leaud gives more 'sober' performances in La Maman et la Putain, Godard's The Joy of Learning, maybe (only seen bits of it) in Out 1.
Léaud is mute through a large segment of Out 1, which may be a relief to some viewers (though he gesticulates a lot). He is heartbreaking (without necessarily avoiding callowness) in Two English Girls, Truffaut's masterpiece.
(i believe this was the only truffaut film that godard had any time for)
When Truffaut was ill with a brain tumour, Godard's comment was "that's what happens when you read so many bad books".
