Jean is a clerk in a bank. His colleague Caron is a gambler and gives him the virus. In the casinos, Jean meets Jackie. Their love affair will follow their luck at the roulette.
A quiet short romance with a slight touch of decadency.
On renewed viewing: A small tale enhanced by two good performances and Nouvelle Vague style direction.
Halliwell**: "Good-looking romantic drama utilizing many of the cinema's most dazzling resources."
Maltin***: "Lesser-known but no less rewarding French New Wave drama...A vividly blonde Moreau is sensational in one of her best, least-seen performances...Shot in gorgeous b&W..."
