...picture is about envy. A French newspaper writer (Jacques Charrier) comes to a village outside Munich and, after basking for a while in self-pity because nobody will notice him, manages to meet a jolly German (Walther Reyer) who is a famous and successful author. To Charrier's amazement, Reyer and his stunning wife (Stephane Audran) make him feel so at home in their luxurious villa that he soon has a latch-key familiarity with the couple. This sudden rescue from loneliness should make Charrier happy; instead, watching Stephane perch adoringly on the arm of her husband...
Director Claude Chabrol's choice of the dimple-faced Charrier to play his twisted protagonist brings a touch of spoiled boyishness to a role that might have been merely sinister in more virile hands. Much of the plot is forthrightly told in the first person by Charrier's own voice-an earnest of Chabrol's continuing drift away from the Marienbadian labyrinths and the Breathless ambiguities of some of his fellow New Wave moviemakers.

Testily, she denied that Sami was insanely jealous, that he popped away at nudenik photographers...
...belongs to the Nouvelle Vague, the French New Wave, and should therefore be as fashionable as sinning after lunch. Two recent arrivals resound to the phoot-phoot of scooters, but they nonetheless belong to the most ancienne of vagues-bad films. Cheaters is a solemn exercise in which Jacques Charrier, a pretty young man married to Brigitte Bardot, and some friends behave with what they fancy is abandon: they dig le jazz, say "so longue" to each other, and crack up cars. All that need be said of Cheaters is that toward the end of it, after a crackup...
