Bay of Angels - 1963
Jackie Demaistre (Jeanne Moreau), a compulsive gambler on holiday in Nice, falls in love with Jean Fournier (Claude Mann), a bank clerk who also succumbs to the thrill of the casino. At first, the love affair seems destined for greatness, as does their success at gambling. Relying on each other for luck, however, has its price. When the winning stops, how will Jackie and Jean feel about the romance? This film, with some costuming by designer Pierre Cardin, make a nice entry in the collection of films by noted French New Wave director Jacques Demy, and was restored by his wife, Agnes Varda.
