NOTES B/W In French

Nothing to do with the Sci-Fi TV series.

A dwarf man working in a legal office has but one friend, Isis,

who works in a circus on the trapeze. But then he falls in love

with a singer, Paola.

Now I haven't seen this film but I do know that Anita Ekberg

(Paola) who became famous in Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960)

is a very big woman. She was also at the time of this film 66

years old.
