Love is my profession (En cas de malheur) dir. Claude Autant-Lara, 1958
A breakthrough film in Brigitte Bardot's career, because for the first time you can see the actress in it, and not just her own personality as it was in Vadim's And god created woman (1956).
There is nothing of the 'bad woman' about BB. Frankness and kindness can be read on her face. She is more like a Pekingese than a cat. She is neither depraved nor venal. In 'Love is my proffesion' she bunches up her skirt and crudely proposes a deal to Gabin. But there is a kind of disarming candour in her cynicism. She is blooming and healthy, quietly sensual. It is impossible to see in her the touch of Satan, and for that reason she seems all the more diabolical to women who feel humiliated and threatened by her beauty. [S. de Beauvoir, Brigitte Bardot and the Lolita syndrome, 1962 pp. 26,28]

Jean Gabin and Bourvil in Four Bags Full aka The Crossing of Paris aka Pig Across Paris (Claude Autant-Lara, 1956)
Cast: Jean Gabin, Bourvil, Louis de Funès, Jeanette Batti, Georgette Anys, Robert Arnoux, Laurence Badie, Jacques Marin, Jean Dunot, MonetteDinay. Screenplay: Jean Aurenche, Pierre Bost, based on a story by Marcel Aymé. Cinematography: Jacques Natteau. Production design: Max Douy. Film editing: Madeleine Gug. Music: René Cloërec. 
Like most movie-lovers whose knowledge of film extends beyond "Hollywood," I was familiar with Jean Gabin, but although I had encountered the name, I didn't know Bourvil, celebrated in France but not so much on this side of the Atlantic. Which made it difficult for me at first to capture the tone and humor of La Traversée de Paris, a film also known as Four Bags Full, The Crossing of Paris, The Trip Across Paris, and Pig Across Paris. Since the film begins with newsreel footage of German troops occupying Paris in 1942, it strikes a more serious tone than it eventually takes. Marcel Martin (Bourvil) is a black market smuggler tasked with carrying meat from a pig that's slaughtered at the beginning of the movie while he plays loud music on an accordion to cover its squeals. He's responsible for transporting two suitcases filled with pork across the city to Montmartre, but when the other smuggler fails to show up, he has to accept the aid of a stranger, Grandgil (Gabin), who agrees to carry the other two valises. Grandgil, however, wants the butcher, Jambier (Louis de Funès), to pay much more than the originally agreed-upon amount for his services, and blackmails him into accepting, to the consternation of Martin. The task is perilous, given the vigilance of the French police and the German occupying troops, so the film wavers between thriller and comedy -- the latter particularly when some stray dogs pick up the scent of what's in the suitcases. It ends up being a fascinating tale of the odd-couple relationship between Grandgil and Martin, as well as a picture of what Parisians went through during the occupation. It was controversial when it was released because it takes a warts-and-all look at black-marketeers and the Résistance, downplaying the heroism without denying the genuine risks they took. Eventually, Grandgil and Martin are caught by the Germans, but Grandgil is released because the officer in charge recognizes him as a famous artist. Martin is sent to prison, but the two are reunited after the war when Grandgil recognizes him at a train station as the porter carrying his luggage -- a rather obvious, and somewhat sour, bit of irony.

Sylvia and the Ghost ~ Sylvie et le fantôme (Claude Autant-Lara, 1946)

Quote
If these films view childhood idyllically, they come down on adolescence like a ton of kindly platitudes. The traditional French cinema shows a tender and permissive sympathy towards this period of unsureness, vulnerability, and questioning, whence Le Diable au corps and Les 400 coups. Hollywood progressed from the complacent-cosy Andy Hardy view of teenage romance to films like Rebel without a Cause and Take a Giant Step. In the old fashioned British cinema, adolescent sex remains innocent or delinquent. Drama occurs when teenage immaturity runs ahead of itself or gets reckless or defiant. If there are any bearable films on either theme, I either didn't see them or have completely forgotten them.

Brigitte Bardot in a scene from 1958 film noir En cas de maulher aka Love Is My Profession. Based on Georges Simenon's 1956 novel In Case Of Emergency, directed by Claude Autant-Lara and co-starring Jean Gabin, the movie combines a psychological thriller and crime drama into noir. A married lawyer falls for a fetching young criminal and rigs a trial to win her acquittal. He becomes obsessed with the woman to the point of imagining they might have a life together. Bardot is the main attraction in this movie, playing a free-spirited gal with a modern outlook and too many vices. Trouble ensues followed by tragedy. A link to the film with English subtitles is the first comment.
