1958, DIRECTED BY OTTO PREMINGER

Born into a privileged and idle environment, her relationship with the legendary David Niven, in the role of her father, is one of the most intimate. Preminger highlights throughout the film, Cécile's melancholy, prey to the transition from adolescence to adulthood, an age that ultimately isn't one, and to the nostalgia for a dreamed past, which she relives in flashbacks as if to make the past the present. Because when her mother dies, her father imposes his free lifestyle on her, where she witnesses the succession of his adventures; but when the latter becomes more seriously close to Anne, Cécile will not tolerate it and will set up a plan to separate them. Starting in Paris, the plot then travels to the French Riviera, where we discover a dreamed-of Saint Tropez, from the first terrace of Sénéquier to that of La Ponche.
