The original title of this film is Poupoupidou. David Rouosseau is a popular French
crime novelist working on a new book but also looking for a new story. Candice Lecoeur is a young and attractive woman
who thinks her life is following along the lines of Marilyn Monroe. She was born in a remote location in
France but she is discovered working at a gas station and selected as a model
for a small cheese company in the area.
She becomes a local star and also does the weather. Her body is found buried in the snow at
the border of France and Switzerland.
This is a no-man’s land and there will not be an investigation of her
death. Rousseau believes she did
not commit suicide by sleeping pills.
This is a different style of film and the character of Candice does draw
you into the story. Rouosseau will
use any means legal or not to find out the details of this case. The sound track has hits from the 60’s,
including a remake of the Mamas and Papas California Dreamin. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
