Tendre poulet, 1977, directed by Philippe de Broca, adaptation of the novel by Jean-Paul Roulant and Claude Olivier “Commissioner Tanquerel and Frelon”. Police Commissioner Liz Tanquerel (Annie Girardot) accidentally knocks down Antoine Lemercier (Philippe Noiret) on his moped at a red light. Word for word, it turns out that they once studied together, now he is a professor at the Sorbonne, she is in no hurry to tell him what she does, since she is a police commissioner in the homicide department. But after some time it still turns out that introduces some problems in the flared up with renewed vigor sympathy between them. Liz, meanwhile, is investigating three identical mysterious murders of MPs linked to the fact that all of the dead were in contact with one beautiful girl of a famous profession. The investigation is not going very smoothly, but in the end the killer is identified, and Liz and Antoine get back together to the nearest pharmacy, as Liz again hit, this time deliberately, the car in which Antoine was driving and the killer, whom he persuaded to surrender, because he killed for perfectly good intentions. This is an unassuming story that I only saw because of Girardo and Noiret. Well, there's also some good dialogue, because one of the screenwriters was Michelle Odiard: Antoine talks to his friend Pelletier, discussing their relationship with Liz: "Pelletier: It is a shame that you have wasted twenty years. Lemercier: How long have you been married? Me? Oo-la-la... Lemercier: Are you still interested in your wife's hairstyle? Pelletier: My wife has no hair, she has hair. Madame Pelletier is adorable, old man, but your eyes are tired. This is what hasty alliances lead to. Lisa and I didn't waste twenty years; we saved them. We avoided the mistake of early marriage, the fatigue of good food, the erosion of sexuality. Twenty years later, we find ourselves unscathed, in the prime of life: me with new hopes and Lisa with a ready-made girl. ?
