A not so bad little forgotten film

It's a movie that is never aired. And totally unknown from a B director specialized in comedies. Not uninteresting story about a couple about to split. A story like you have seen all over the decades and you will continue to watch. Good settings in the South of France. And Michel Simon is here outstanding, with also Serge Gainsbourg in a very convincing performance. A tale in which all audiences can fell a close relation to the characters. I did not expect this kind of film from Jacques Poitrenaud. And don't forget the late Marie Dubois who passed away last week.A good worth gem.

Love me two times

I'm in my Michel Simon period, watching his best period from 1943 (Vautrin) to 1958 (Un certain Mr Jo), when he was not too thin and sometimes playing old characters in the 30's and not too tired from the 60's to the end. I just tried this chronicle about loss of love in a couple critical period, with Michel Simon helping them. The story is full of sensitive details, and intelligently played by entire casting in the sunny South of France. Special mention to Michel Simon, Marie Dubois anf Gainsbourg of course.
