Le doulos (1962)

Belmondo and a white woman in a Cheongsam – both looking straight at us – awkwardly sit at a small round table in some sort of nightclub-ish establishment. There are cigarettes, an empty glass, and an ice bucket in front of her. DP: Nicolas Hayer.

“I don't give a damn. But I have the jewels and I need the money.”

Panique (1946)

A child probes her dinner with a fork larger than her head while another one is all neat and proper. In the midst of them, as serious table settings require, a large man. His napkin tucked in at the neck, he leans over the first child with something to say. DP: Nicolas Hayer.

“Dead meat always attracts flies.”

– Monsieur Hire
