I watched this last night and had a mixed reaction. Has this figured in any of your French series, Don? I liked it stylistically - the cinematography, the jazz soundtrack. It’s jaunty. The story I fear won’t stand up to inspection, and the two leads (Pierre Vaneck and Roger Hanin) left me a little cold. There is a scene early on where they establish themselves as destructive young punks, and although it is effective as a scene, it killed any sympathy or identification with them. They are idiots besides. Mijanou Bardot was certainly pretty. The ending isn’t bad.
