How to Keep the Red Lamp Burning

1965 NR 1h 40m 6.3

A film consisting of three short stories: "The Closure", "The Trial", "Men of Good Taste". The events of all three parts develop around an ordinary street lamp.

It is with a heavy heart that Monsieur Charles has to close his Parisian brothel in 1946, following new legislation outlawing such establishments. As a parting gift, he offers the brothel's red lantern to one of his star employees, Lucette.
