French film including a story with a prostitute and a wielding guy sculpting a woman released in the 1960a
What was the name of the French film which was released in 1960s which includes a story of a prostitute and had different stories? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.22.51 (talk) 02:17, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The long 1960s (say 1958-1974) was the core era of the French New Wave. I don't recognize the film from your description, but if you explore the films and directors of the French New Wave, you may find something.  -- Jayron  32  03:10, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't really know what "a wielding guy sculpting a woman" means, but my first thought was Belle de Jour. My Life to Live is another possibility. --Viennese Waltz 08:20, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing that "wielding guy" means a welder. Belle de Jour does not "have different stories". —Tamfang (talk) 04:23, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Ding ding ding . That was the only film that came to mind when I read the OPs question. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 04:29, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * And I could mention Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne since it's French and mentions prostitutes, but I won't. —Tamfang (talk) 05:48, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah rats I should have sent out a ding ding ding to as well. Naughty me for not reading all the posts. The only thing worse is if it is a film that none of us have seen. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 05:52, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Rue barbare is a film most of us probably haven't seen, based on Street of the Lost, a rare book we apparently have to read. The film was from 1984, but the book was 1952, so it works out to 1968. Maybe. The important thing is it's about a welder and features prostitutes. Probably not it. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:25, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I got depressed just reading one para of the synopsis. --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  10:34, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
 * That's not good. Here, try The Pocket Book of Boners or Fox in Socks. They're not quite as "gritty" as they sound. I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today!, on the other hand, "takes no prisoners". Fortunately, it also has "other stories". Unfortunately, none are about welding. InedibleHulk (talk) 14:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
