Featured review
A pleasant road movie.
Thank you to Stella Kersová , Pierre Laroche (Jacqueline Audry's husband), Pierre Pelegri and Jacqueline Audry for this pleasant road movie made in 1962 !
The tribulations of Agathe, a typist who has won a prize (a stay at La Panne) and encounters a beach under the rain:thanks to a the talkative journalist she realizes that she must go to the Côte d'Azur where she will find the sun: then begins her travel by hitchhiking through Belgium: a lot of pleasant and unpleasant encounters with very different men.
Agathe is at the same time ingenuous but also cute (she speaks of an imaginary aunt or boss who is waiting for her), she escapes from dubious situations (her 40 years old father or the psychopath) and follows her quest for the sea and the sun.
I enjoyed very much the performances of Darry Cowl, Pierre Mondy, Lino Venturo , Daniel Gélin, Robert Hossein, Pierre Brasseur, Fernand Gravey, François Périer, Gilbert Bécaud, Bernard Blier, Arletty,Michel Le Royer and Jean-Claude Brialy: their dialogues with te character of Agathe were full of humour and Agathe Aëms was brilliant.
