Taxing Life. There is little doubt of voter unhappiness with the general. The shopkeepers of Briare claim that they are being taxed out of existence. Pierre , Renaud, who runs a combination pharmacy and tobacco shop, must pay five different kinds of taxes and fill out separate forms for each. "Those forms," he says, "make for many nights of insomnia." His uncle, Maurice Renaud, who runs an appliance shop down the street, must fill out only three sets of forms but is much more outspoken.

Based on a bestselling French novel, Warrior's Rest, the movie casts Bardot as a girl who inherits a fortune, goes to Dijon to collect it, instead picks up a suicidal rake named Renaud (Robert Hossein). After saving his life, she feels responsible for him, so she moves him into her bed, where most of the action takes place. Soon she gives up friends, family and fiance.
