...baby daughter who died 20 years before, it is evident that she will, however inadvertently, add to the wreckage of the marriage. The title refers to the wife's calling for a lost puppy, yet it is clear that hers is in truth a cri de coeur for the unassuageable pain of growing old before she has even grown up. If this is the heartland, it is as seen by Freud: the husband lusts after the girl and fantasizes about her as the virtuous virgin that his wife was not; the wife acts kittenish even with the milkman...

...Paris in the '50s. One of the most memorable shots is of the contrast in the still landscape of Montmartre at night. In the pitch black lower part of the frame only the sharply etched neon nightclub sign. "Pigalle," stands out, while above the dome of the Sacre Coeur cathedral is silhouetted against the mist. The music reinforces the fundamental contrast inherent in the film. It is magically distant and redolent of both jazz and the French music hall.
