Love is blind...

Well not entirely blind when one of the protagonists is Brigitte Bardot. She certainly was the cutest cutie of her times and Gabin was some kind of a man...Yvette is foolish and gay,(?) he is stern and reasonable, she is a thief and a good for nothing, he is hard working and honest (mind you , a lawyer...).Not a masterpiece but a excellent piece of acting and a far from innocent movie.
Worth seeing for Gabin's performance

Well acted, especially by Jean Gabin, and there's no denying Bridget Bardot's sex appeal, although a more gifted actress might have made both the character and the whole film deeper.A middle aged attorney (Gabin) falls for a sexy young client (Bardot) after she bungles a stick up. They carry on an open affair with her, as Gabin's wife keeps waiting for him to come home, and as Bardot keeps vacillating between her older, stable lover, and her hot, volatile young boyfriend.Never boring, but stays pretty much on the surface most of the time, with an oddly light tone. However, the ending twist is quite moving, and gives the whole film a deeper resonance than it would have otherwise.
