fecund
Y
D
–adjective
1. producing or capable of producing offspring, fruit, vegetation, etc., in abundance; prolific; fruitful: fecund parents; fecund farmland.
2. very productive or creative intellectually: the fecund years of the Italian Renaissance.
At least as far as the movies go, the fecund late '60s are a gift that keeps on giving. As allusive as its title, Jean-Pierre Melville's all but unknown Army of Shadows, a French resistance saga made—and tepidly received—in 1969, emerges from the mists of time in a new 35mm restoration as a career-[capping] epic tragedy.
