Year: 1968
Director: François Truffaut
Plot: The episodic romantic comedy Stolen Kisses is the third installment in François Truffaut's Antoine Doinel series, which started with The 400 Blows in 1959. In 1968, Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) is discharged from the military and comes home to Paris, getting an apartment in Montmartre with an excellent view of the Sacré-Coeur. He meets up with his sweetheart, Christine Darbon (Claude Jade, making her film debut), and joins her and her parents for dinner (Daniel Ceccaldi and Claire Duhamel). With the help of Christine's father, he gets a job as a hotel clerk but quickly gets fired after he unwittingly aids a private detective (Harry Max). After running into the detective at a coffee shop, Antonie then falls into a job at the Blady Detective Agency, assisting with the investigation of a magician. He is then assigned to the case of neurotic Georges Tabard (Michel Lonsdale), and ends up working in the stock room of his shoe store. After Antoine has coffee with Tabard's beautiful and intelligent wife, Fabienne (Delphine Seyrig), she inevitably tries to seduce him. He later meets Christine in a park and proposes to her, taking the pair into the next film: Bed and Board. One of the lightest entries in the series, Stolen Kisses was ironically filmed during a turbulent political time in France. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Body: I suppose I missed the connection when I first saw Four-Eyed Monsters. I don't think it diminishes my opinion of FEM to have recalled that this wasn't completely original. Why not pay homage to Truffaut? I love Truffaut but am only now warming up to the rest of the Antoine Doinel series. I mean, it kind of falls apart. It becomes a wink and a nudge like Ocean's 13. But what I keep recalling is the scene in Bed and Board (1970) when, just for an instant, Claude Jade is overpoweringly beautiful. Despite everything that goes wrong for them in their relationship, her beauty is paralyzing. Her character is pregnant already, although neither of them know it yet. He asks for the toothpaste, she tosses it to him out the window and gives the thumbs up. Domestic bliss. But that frame before the thumbs up is the one that sticks with me.He can do nothing but love her, despite everything. He is smitten. And just for that audacious moment, so are we. Claude Jade standing in a window.

Body: The Antoine Doinel films follow the Doinel character from boyhood to manhood with 400 Blows, Antoine and Colette, Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board, & Love on the Run. Even though this is not a documentary like the Seven Up films, I got a similar feeling watching the same actor portray the same character within a 20+ year period. It is very interesting to watch a real actor grow up on film.
