Stolen Kisses

Naively idealistic and largely inept both in his dealings with women and in any job, Antoine clumsily courts Christine while working for a private detective agency.

Naively idealistic and largely inept both in his dealings with women and in any job he takes, Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) clumsily courts Christine (Claude Jade) while working for a private detective agency – which leads to an unexpected encounter with his boss’s wife. Broad but gentle comedy gradually gives way to a pleasingly ironic study of infatuation’s pleasures and pitfalls; Seyrig and Lonsdale give especially enjoyable performances.
