FEATURES: Deleted Scenes, Featurette, Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Photo
Gallery, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: En Cas de Malheur, literally "in case of
accident," is better known by its American title, Love is My Profession. By any
name, this Brigitte Bardot vehicle ran into stiff opposition from the Catholic
Legion of Decency, severely limiting its U.S. distribution.
Bardot
plays a nubile small-time thief named Yvette, who becomes the mistress of
influential defense attorney Andre (Jean Gabin). Though Andre is able to shower
Yvette with jewels and furs, he cannot "buy" her heart, and thus it is that it
belongs to handsome young student Mazzetti (Franco Interlenghi). Alas, Yvette
is no judge of human nature: attractive though Mazzetti can be, he has a
dangerous-and deadly-side.
En Cas de Malheur contains a nude scene that
has since been reprinted in freeze-frame form innumerable times by both
film-history books and girlie magazines.
Cast: Jean Gabin,
Brigitte Bardot. Runtime: 92 min
