What Love Is My Profession Is About

André Gobillot, one of the most sought-after defence lawyers in Paris, takes on Yvette, twenty-two and charged with robbery. She is not sorry about anything, and he is taken with her from the first day. The acquittal comes through perjured testimony, and the affair that follows rests on the same ground: a married man, the distance in their ages, money, dependency, and a hold neither of them can actually break. Adapted from Georges Simenon's novel, with a screenplay by Jean Aurenche and Pierre Bost, it competed at Venice in 1958. Putting Jean Gabin and Brigitte Bardot in the same frame made it a talking point in its own day.
