It is a teasing and frequently amusing (or moving) film that M. Truffaut has made, but it simply does not hang together.

Like Charlie only being able to let his real feelings out through that little crate piano, films like this remind us of our love for film and the possibilities within even the most bare and irreverent stories.

Top CriticAn affectionate tribute to the low-budget crime movies that Truffaut so loved, and it's one of my favorite Truffaut films.

The determined jollity of Georges Delerue’s saloon piano score, which later opens up to encompass a wide world of romanticism, sets the tone for Francois Truffaut’s audacious second feature, made in 1960.
