Featuring a stylish score by Oscar-winning composer Michel Legrand and cinematography by Claude Renoir, the film follows a secretary who steals her boss's car for a trip to the French Riviera, only to be recognized by strangers along the way for crimes she has no memory of committing. Japanese B2 theatrical posters from this era are highly sought after for their unique typography and dynamic artwork composition.
