15世纪一座巨大的白色城堡里，正在举行盛大的节日庆祝会。魔鬼派遣他创造的人混在杂技艺人当中。在这个却是很美的开始场景中，服装师，演员们和音乐师全都沉醉在法国传统中，他们都以一种完美而准确的风格重现古代细笔画中的人物形象。在这个开头场景以后，在中古时代的服饰下，编剧和导演所表现的世界一直没有变化。但他们的论点发生了改变。影片一方面表现的是善良人，被爱情变得圣洁的人——则那位吟诗人和年轻的领主夫人，另一方面是魔鬼亲自率领的那些邪恶的人，魔鬼在这里同命运混成一体。　　本片受到了最热烈的欢迎。卡尔内原想把这部神话故事放在当前的时代中来演出。后来，由于慎重考虑，他把时代背景改为迷信魔鬼与巫术的中世纪。原来剧作者的心目中，魔鬼是希特勒的形象。但在影片中这一影射却很难看出来。魔鬼使用妖法，把那些情人化成石像，伫立在喷水池旁，池水反映出骑士们比武，邪恶获得胜利。但是那对被链条锁住，受尽折磨的情人，最后还是不顾一切地聚会在一起，他们的心在石像里面不停的跳动着。人们可以看出这正是被囚禁的法国形象、在卡尔内和普莱卫的影片中，人们第一次看到命运与邪恶无力征服爱和善。

Middle class student Bob Letellier enters a new world when he meets Alain, a free-thinking rebel who, along with his group of young Parisians, has opted for a life of instant gratification instead of work and commitment. At a party, Bob meets a young woman, Mic, who appears to be just as carefree and cynical as Alain. Mic's only dream is to own a luxury car, and with Bob's help, she manages to find the money to but it. Mic's friend Clo discovers she is pregnant and, not knowing who the father is, she asks Bob to marry her. When they next meet at a party, Bob and Mic deny that they have any feelings for one another - a declaration that soon leads to tragedy...　　　　Marcel Carné is widely regarded as one of the standard bearers of French quality cinema of the 1930s and 1940s, responsible for such masterpieces as Quai des brumes (1938) and Les Enfants du Paradis (1945). How ironic then that, in 1958, towards the end of his film-making career, he should make a film which dared to portray the attitudes and behaviour of the 1950s youth, in a way that effectively captures the mood and sentiment of the time.　　　　Les Tricheurs was a hugely controversial film, not least because of its blatant depiction of adolescent free-love, and was even banned in some regions of France. It also received some intensely unfavourable reviews, most notably from the young hotheads on the Cahiers du cinéma such as François Truffaut who cited this film as a prime example of the decline of French cinema into mediocrity. In spite of all this negative press, the film proved to be an astonishing commercial success, attracting five million cinema-goers, and was awarded the Grand Prix du Cinéma français in 1958.　　　　Whilst Les Tricheurs is not as flawless as Carné's earlier masterpieces, it is nonetheless a significant work, having the power to both shock and move its audience, whilst having great entertainment value. It evokes the mood of its time in a way that few French films of this period did, depicting young people as pleasure-seeking rebels, rejecting the austerity and discipline of the previous generation whilst pursuing a life without cares, responsibilities or love. Similarities with James Dean's films of the 1950s (most notably Rebel without a Cause) are apparent, although Carné's treatment of young people is far more abstract - in his film they merely symbolise a world that has lost its way, more or less victims of post-war prosperity. Although the young people in Les Tricheurs lack the authenticity to be totally credible, the film does make an important, and indeed quite disturbing point, about where the permissive society may be heading.　　　　Much of the pleasure of the film is in the performances from its four lead actors, Jacques Charrier, Pascale Petit, Laurent Terzieff and Andréa Parisy, although only Terzieff is really convincing in his role. Marcel Carné originally considered Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo for the parts of Bob and Alain respectively, before opting for Charrier and Terzieff. As a consolation, Carné offered Belmondo a smaller part in the film - alas too small for the actor to be noticed by the public. Belmondo's breakthrough had to wait until the following year when he starred in Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary A bout de souffle, a film which offers a very different perspective of the youth generation.
