Love on the Top

French director Michel Deville delivered a cynical look of love with this black comedy. An unassuming bank teller evolves into a ladies man with the help of his writer friend who hopes to write a bestseller based on his exploits. Based on the novel by Roger Blondel and adapted by Christopher Frank, Deville and his cast and crew delivered a classic. The perfectly cast film stars Jean-Louis Trintignant along with Jean-Pierre Cassel, Romy Schneider, Jane Birkin and Florinda Bolkan in the supporting roles. Trintignant and the ravishing Romy Schneider shine with their terrific performances. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
