As I've been in films for a short time,

I haven't worked with the veterans.

Tell me more about actors

and actresses.

- Are you that interested?

- Of course.

You are a little girl and you are a big girl.

And you are a big...

...boy, and I am big boy.

- A big boy? No.

- Yes.

Have you had enough to eat?

Yes, but I'd love a coffee.

Coffee, please!

Antoine, be quiet!

What do you want to do?

Me, nothing.

I want to play, that's all.

How about a boat trip?

Yes! Let's go on a boat!

- On a boat?

- Yes!

- I promised?

- Yes.

- You remember I promised?

- Yes.

- Have you been good?

- Yes.

All week?

Yes, he was!

- Was he good?

- Yes, yes.

Were you a good girl?

- Shall we find a boat?

- Yes!

- Well, let's go! Come on. We're off.

- Yes!

I'll get there first!

Go and get your coats quickly, then.

You think it's okay for us

to go on a boat?

They are loving every minute.

They get along pretty well together.

They've been friends for a long time.

Yes.

Antoine noticed her ages ago,

he said Franoise was pretty.

He said he'd only spoken to her

a couple of times.

It's so cute.

Detour

Beautiful, that man and his dog.

They walk alike.

Yes, they do.

Do you know Giacometti, the sculptor?

Oh, yes. He was handsome.

Well, Giacometti once said:

"If caught in a fire and I had to choose

between a Rembrandt and a cat...

...I'd save the cat."

"And then I'd let the cat go."

- Did he say that too?

- That's what's so wonderful.

Yes, it is.

Between art and life,

he said he'd choose life.

- Beautiful.

- Yes.

Why did you ask me that?

- About Giacometti?

- Yes.

Because of the man and his dog.

You never speak about your wife.

My complete love

is with you always and forever.

Every second, till the end.

I love you, my darling!

I love you!

Drivers are reminded it is forbidden

to have your engines running...

...before the starting signal

is officially given.

On the ready places, please.

Everyone clear the track, please.

One minute to go!

One minute to go.

Thirty seconds to go!

Four seconds to go!

Ready?

This is the first lap.

I can't tell you what's going on now,

but it's going to be very exciting.

Millions of viewers...

...have joined us for this race and will

stay with us for the next 24 hours.

By the time we get

to our next report at 10 p. M...

...we have no doubt that the result

in the race will be far more predictable.

As of this moment,

the Ferraris are leading.

As you know, Jean-Louis Duroc

has had a smashup.

He piled up his car on the straight

run of the grandstand. It looked bad.

Jean-Louis Duroc was rushed

to the racetrack operating room.

He is still in a coma, but we will keep

you informed on this subject.

Right now, doctors are operating

on Jean-Louis Duroc.

The fiendish pace continues with

the Ferraris still holding their lead.

Last night produced a lot of dramatic

incidents and strained the machines.

Fifty percent of cars dropped out, to say

nothing of Duroc's serious accident.

We reported

Jean-Louis Duroc's accident.

You know he underwent

a three-hour operation.

But a personal drama took place

in the hospital as he was unconscious.

However, let's go back

to the track to Graham Hill.

He's at the pit

and still has a chance to win.

A sheer tragedy

stalked the corridors of the hospital.

Duroc's wife

got to the hospital...

...only to be told of her husband's

critical condition.

Then something awful happened.

Mrs. Duroc was very seriously shocked,

and she suffered a nervous breakdown.

It has just been confirmed

that she has taken her own life.

For the moment,

we have no further details.

We shall keep you informed

as they come in.

And now back to the track.

All of next week, I'm going to be

driving in the Monte Carlo Rally.

But as soon as I come back...

...Montmartre 15-40.

Well, then, good night.

What time is it?

Five past 1.

Did you have a good trip?

How's your son?

Fine.

- And you?

- Fine.

I've got some bad news for you.

I knew you didn't find my desk.

I don't suppose you looked for it.

I went to all the antique dealers

in Deauville, but no desk.

Too bad.

Aren't you going to undress?

Right away.

When am I going to meet your son?

When he's old enough

to seduce you.

I'd make a good mother.

I'm sure you would.

What's all this about

you going out with twins?

Who told you that?

The racing magazine.

This one?

Which page?

Twenty-nine.

That's true.

You missed the best parts.

"Today, the driver Jean-Louis Duroc

met a young woman in Deauville.

They spent the afternoon together...

...had lunch together,

and drove 400 kilometers together.

They left each other

just over half an hour ago."

Why are you telling me all this?

Because it's the truth.

This paper never tells lies.

Here in Rheims, capital of Champagne,

the town is bubbling with excitement.

Excitement for the start of the

35th Monte Carlo Motor Rally...

...which is not being made any easier

by the difficult weather conditions.

At this very moment, other competitors

leave from Oslo...

...Minsk, London, Athens...

...Lisbon and Hamburg,

273 competitors in all.

They are about to start the 5000

kilometers of this very difficult race.

And among those 273 competitors...

...Jean-Louis Duroc

driving the Mustang number 145...

...is about to leave.

Jean-Louis Duroc will share the driving

with his partner, Chemin.

FORD TEAM CONFIDEN Straight ahead, now.

Fork left.

Two kilometers.

Now, hard left.

As I speak to you, many contestants

dropped out of the race.

Out of 273 cars that began,

only 80 are still in the running.

Many accidents have occurred

and countless difficulties...

...because of the extremely bad

weather conditions.

They have literally transformed

the roads into ice rinks.

Hairpin bend on the right.

Sharp bend, left!

The last and 42nd competitor

has just arrived at Monte Carlo.

Forty-two cars...

...these figures speak for themselves.

A tough, grueling race

for both drivers and their cars.

Tonight, Monte Carlo,

famed for its casino...

...is decked out to give a big welcome

to the tired heroes of today's race.

We had hoped to bring you live

pictures of the prince and princess...

...but they were not able to be present

for the finish of the rally...

...as we understand

they are away skiing.

Therefore, they did not present

the trophy to the winners...

...who in fact aren't the real winners...

...because, as you know, Makinen and

the other competitors driving Coopers...

...should have won.

However, a detail in one of the many

regulations deprived them of victory...

...but these trifles, we expect, will

be overlooked at tonight's banquet...

...given in honor of the competitors

at the Sporting Club...

Hello?

Hello, I want to send a telegram

to Monte Carlo.

Yes, I'll wait.

Yes, Monte Carlo.

Mr. Jean-Louis Duroc.

Duroc. With a C.

I haven't got the address

with me, unfortunately.

I'm sorry to trouble you.

It won't be difficult to find him.
