Synopsis

Bernard Noblet is a modest bank clerk with a passion for billiards. His fiancée Juliette, a schoolteacher, dreams of one day living the high life, and his best friend Roger, a little-known inventor, is equally despairing. After careful consideration, a solution emerges: a cleverly organized hold-up will enable them to live in luxury for the rest of their lives. Bernard soon makes the acquaintance of Bettina and her mother, Madame Ralton, professionals in the "heist" business.

dbdumonteil Nicolas Gessner's debut was a pleasant comedy where contentment reigned .A sweet dreamer (Claude Rich) who works in a Swiss bank in Geneva wants to become rich ,but as he was not raised on robbery ,like gorgeous Bettina (Jean Seberg) whose mother is the brains of a gang,he's got a good idea:let the others do the job,and latch on to the loot afterward.There are plenty of funny lines: "if we do not respect the anonymous accounts ,all that will be left for Switzerland will be winter sports,the clocks and Gruyère cheese " or " You know there was a break-in and you policemen arrive by bike!" .The jeweler to the insurance agent :"I'm glad I sold all those jewels" "But you didn't sell'em!they were stolen!" It comes to the same thing,as long as someone pays!" Filmed on location in Geneva ,Nicolas Gessner ,abetted by a good cast ,does a nice job.Later ,he would direct Charles Bronson and Anthony Perkins ("Quelqu'un Derrière La Porte" ) and Jodie Foster and Martin Sheen ("the little girl who lived down the lane").Like this?try these....."La Bonne Année " Claude Lelouch,1974 "Faut Pas Prendre Les Enfants Du Bon Dieu Pour Des Canards Sauvages " Michel Audiard,1968
