En cas de malheur

[Machine Translation] Her eyes, her lips, even her toes. The myth of Brigitte Bardot is revived. Brigitte Bardot Retrospective Vol. 2! An actress whose life was not obsessed with wealth or fame, Brigitte Bardot was a fashion icon of the 1960s, a symbol of freedom and liberation who broke taboos with her positive sensuality, and the first French actress to become a major international star! In 2024, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of her birth, a total of 11 films were screened as a special feature, and were widely introduced not only by traditional film fans but also by women and young people. The long-awaited second series includes two romantic comedies that showcase BB's talent for dance and comedienne, and three romantic suspense films in which she co-stars with the famous actor Jean Gabin in a serious role and shows a new frontier in her career. The Pretty Devil" : A young woman who is delinquent due to her disadvantageous circumstances and a lawyer who crosses a dangerous bridge in order to win her for himself. Through their relationship, this romantic suspense film shows the deception and sorrow of the bourgeoisie. BB, who has been controversial for his naturalistic performances, co-stars in this film with Jean Gabin, a famous French actor. The up-and-coming producer Raoul Levy, who also worked on "The Honest Malignant Woman," the film that gave BB his international breakthrough, took the public by surprise by combining these two contrasting actors. As expected, BB successfully transitions to a more serious role in this film. The original writer is Georges Simenon, famous for his "Inspector Megre" series. The director is Claude-Autan Lara, a master of adaptations of literary works such as "The Red and the Black" ('54). Although the film was not awarded at the Venice International Film Festival, Francois Truffaut praised it as "the best Simenon, the best Autan Lara. Maria" as "one of my best films" along with "Viva! --Paris is in a state of excitement over the arrival of Queen Elizabeth II to France. Yvette (Brigitte Bardot) is alone in her life and in need of money. So she and a female friend rob a watch store owned by an elderly couple, beating the noisy wife with a tool and escaping.

Yvette confidently shows off her legs, saying, "I got what I wanted for free. Gobillot bears false witness and wins his acquittal. He also keeps Yvette as his mistress in a hotel room, without heeding the advice of his wife Viviane ( Edwige Fierre )... Yvette, however, has another young man, Andre.
