English title: Way of Youth.
Based on the novel by Marcel Aymé (1st ed. 1946).
A young man makes a lot of money in the black market in Paris in 1943. His parents know nothing about his illegal activities.
Bittersweet look at the Occupation. The story is full of unexpected (and entertaining) turns, and of funny situations. In the fine cast, the highlights are provided by Bourvil and, in a smalller role, Lino Ventura, two actors I am very fond of.
The version I saw was 78 minutes long; according to the Internet Movie Database there is a 90 minutes version.
