Synopsis:

***WARNING***The DVD title - L' Amour avec des si - does not have English subtitles - French and German audio only***

Smic Smac Smoc
This charming, independent film marks a small departure of form for director Claude Lelouch, better known for his more polished and commercial films, such as A Man And A Woman. Though it was filmed in eight days with an extremely tiny budget, this film still shows Lelouch's gentle sentimentality. Catherine (Catherine Allegret), Midou (Amidou) and Charlot (Charles Gerard) are taking the weekend off together. Catherine and Midou are getting married, after all. The rowdy threesome meet after work to go through a civil marriage ceremony and to drink and party. They are joined by their more conservative friend, Jeannot (Jean Collomb). Along the way, they sweep a blind busker (Francis Lai) into their celebrations, steal a car, and head south for St. Tropez. One highlight of this lighthearted film is the skillful way Lai's music is incorporated into the film.

The Good Guys and the Bad Guys
Bolstered by the buoyant performance by Jacques Dutronc as a car-mechanic turned pro-thief, this French film follows the exploits of Jacques (Dutronc) and his Jewish co-conspirator Simon (Jacques Villeret) as their robberies, beginning well before the Second World War, take on a political coloration under the occupation. Tempted into thievery when their auto-repair business handles a car which can outrun police vehicles, they are constantly pursued by the hard-working policeman Blanchot (Bruno Cremer). During the occupation, the duo lend their skills to the resistance, and the policeman briefly becomes their ally, only to resume his pursuit of these charming criminals after the war.

Seven Suspects for Murder
A detective is on a case of homicide and he gets more involved than his police department may have intended in this French mystery.

In the Affirmative
Drama of the escape of a maniac from prison and the involvement of an innocent man with the police who is thought to be he.
