Billy Wilder, who began his career writing screenplays in Germany, fled to Paris in the early 1930s. There he directed his first film, assisted by Alexander Esway. Danielle Darrieux, age 17, stars in a free-spirited, freewheeling story of young kids who are fascinated by cars and car thievery. The low-budget film was shot on the streets of Paris and Marseilles, its high-speed chases the real thing, while the interiors were shot in a converted garage. A lively jazz score by Franz Waxman augments the action. Wilder, looking back, has likened the film to Breathless. Our print is in French, with a written English synopsis provided.
