Michel Boisrond

A light and sexy murder mystery with excellent set design and cinematography, good acting, and a decent storyline. It's French with subtitles. The "scandalous" nature of Bardot is just because it's a French film, with acceptance of homosexuality and that women (gasp) think. It still has a bit of a sexist attitude, but, hey, it's made in 1967. Fun.—Paul

The film is an often light-hearted look at the not-so-glorious side of the WW II Occupation of France: black market, war profiteers cracking open bottles of Champagne while many Parisians are suffering substantial deprivation. This well-acted-though routine wartime drama is the second such film in a row for young Jean Claude Brialy, who plays a member of one of two families who are experiencing the effects of the German Occupation. In general, both morals and morale have declined in the show more families so that a lonely married woman whose husband is in a prison camp is willing to have an affair with a 17-year-old youth. But beyond that indiscretion, her need for money in a tight economy drives her to get the young man involved in the lucrative black market. Meanwhile, the father of the indiscreet youth finds out what his son is doing and although he has been an ineffectual parent, he tries to lay down the law to his son. Unfortunately, the law at this time seems to be on vacation. (fonte: Imdb) show less
