Love on a Pillow (Le Repos Du Guerrier)
Directed by Roger Vadim
Starring Brigitte Bardot and Robert Hossein
Genevieve Le Thiel (Brigitte Bardot) is a nice, well brought up girl from an upper class family. When she leaves her Paris home to settle an inheritance in Dijon she finds a young man, Renaud (Robert Hossein) who has attempted to commit suicide in her hotel room and saves him just in time.
She ends up falling in love with the man who appears to be no good for her and despite her mother’s disapproval and warning from his own friends Genevieve refuses to break with her lover. Nothing seems to swerve Genevieve from her own self-destructive course. Yet as Renaud keeps repeating that love is a bottomless pit, perhaps he too, will be engulfed by it.
