A former concert pianist, now the piano player in a seedy Parisian bar, is surrouned by gansters and hoodlums. He is befriended by a woman who tries in vain to restore him to his former glory, but his own timidity and inability to act lead to tragic consequences for both.

-- Gregory Kirschling
, (Entertainment Weekly)
"Truffaut suffuses the film with humor. Aznavour, in a career-defining role, is wonderful..." -- Alan Licht , (Premiere)
