Raised as an orphan, Georges Randal is cheated by his unscrupulous uncle and jilted by a beautiful cousin, Charlotte. He robs the family jewels of the cousin's fiance, pauperizing him in a single stroke and cancelling the marriage vows. That starts him on his career. He turns pro, pilfering privileged homes and allying himself with a series of outcasts: demimondaines who find him criminally good-looking.
Louis Malle
Louis Malle, born on October 30, 1932 in Thumeries (Nord) and died on November 23, 1995 in Beverly Hills (California, USA), was a French filmmaker. Malle's early cinema shares many characteristics with the New Wave, but the director then went his own way, guided by his own motivations. Louis Malle directed his first feature film at the age of 25, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (1957), an assassination story starring Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet that played on the codes of film noir and challenged the dramaturgy of classical cinema. For Malle, the spectator must be able to form an opinion, without condemning in advance. After the controversies caused by his films Le Souffle au coeur (1971) and Lacombe Lucien (1974), Malle decides to move to the United States where he will work for a while in Hollywood before returning to France.
