Bright little Bernie skipped every other grade at Lyman Grammar School, put in a year at Mechanic Arts High School before a brother's death made him pick up a bread winner's load in his close, protective Jewish family.

His salary is $10,000 a year. His wealth, as itemized before the 1956 election, consisted of $562 and a house with 16 years...
...dirty little game. She seduces the chauffeur (Daniel Gélin). who seduces the maid (Jocelyne Mercier), who thereupon becomes a pliable witness to all sorts of things she imagines she has seen. In the end it takes some very clever police work by a marvelously grimacious flic (Bernard Blier) to bring the criminals to book-but then, come to think of it, what crime have they committed...
