This one finds Antoine, played as always by Creator/JeanPierreLeaud, leaving the army via dishonorable discharge, having been as much of a bumbling goof in military life as he was in civilian. He seeks out his old crush, Christine (Claude Jade). Antoine offers dogged devotion but Christine maintains a distance between them. Meanwhile, Antoine bumbles his way through a series of jobs. Having been kicked out of the army he gets a job as a night clerk at a hotel, only to be soon fired from that position as well. He then gets work with a private detective agency, and is terrible at that job too. Sent to work undercover in a shoe store, he finds himself distracted from Christine by the store owner's sexy wife Fabienne (Creator/DelphineSeyrig).

The phrase "does this" usually indicates a ZCE, reworded to avoid the term.


* FakeStatic: Antoine does this when he has to end a phone conversation with Christine to follow a suspect, tapping the receiver with his pen while pretending to plead with the operator to not cut them off.

* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: Inverted, as Antoine is quite obviously turned on when Fabienne picks up the phone and chats in English for a bit. (So turned on that he starts trying to learn it.)



* GratuitousEnglish: Truffaut had a habit of throwing some English in his films for no particular reason. Here he has Fabienne take a phone call and chatter away in English briefly. Antoine is shown in the next scene practicing with a "Cours d'Anglais" record set.

''Stolen Kisses'' is a 1968 film from France directed by Creator/FrancoisTruffaut. It is the third film in his five-film series ''Film/TheAdventuresOfAntoineDoinel'', which follows the character of Antoine Doinel from his juvenile delinquent youth to his somewhat disappointing adulthood.

This one finds Antoine, played as always by Creator/JeanPierreLeaud, leaving the army via dishonorable discharge, having been as much of a bumbling goof in military life as he was in civilian. He seeks out his old crush, Christine (Claude Jade). Antoine offers dogged devotion but Christine maintains a distance between them. Meanwhile, Antoine bumbles his way through a series of jobs. Having been kicked out of the army he gets a job as a night clerk at a hotel, only to be soon fired from that position as well. He then gets work with a private detective agency, and is terrible at that job too. Sent to work undercover in a shoe store, he finds himself distracted from Christine by the store owner's sexy wife Fabienne (Creator/DelphineSeyrig).

!!Tropes:

* AsYouKnow: The officer who is telling Antoine about his dishonorable discharge from the army reads out all the times Antoine has gone AWOL and gotten into trouble. Justified in universe as the officer is explaining the reason for Antoine's discharge.
* ContinuityNod: While out and about on the streets Antoine runs into Colette, his crush from the second film in the ''Antoine Doinel'' series, ''Antoine and Colette''. She is taking a walk with Albert, seen at the end of ''Antoine and Colette'' as the man who beats out Antoine for her love; they're now married with a baby.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Antoine as usual, hanging around Christine, spending all the time he can with her even when she's giving him mixed signals.
* EiffelTowerEffect: Just to make sure we know where we are, the first shot after the end of the opening credits shows the tower.
* {{Fanservice}}: The unfaithful wife pops up topless out of bed.
* IdiosyncraticWipe: One of Truffaut's trademarks. A scene with Antoine following a woman starts out with a small box on Antoine, the rest of the frame being black. The image then expands out to fill the screen.
* IncrediblyObviousTail: Antoine the incompetent detective has a habit of tailing people by simply walking behind them at a distance of only a few yards. The first time he does this, the woman he's following spots him and sends a policeman after him.
* StageMagician: Antoine has a job following a stage magician who does tricks with ropes. He makes a date out of it by inviting Christine along.
* WhileYouWereInDiapers: Henri, one of the older detectives at the Blady detective agency, tells M. Blady that "I argued with your father when you were in knee pants!"
* YourCheatingHeart: Antoine is tricked into opening a hotel guest's room. It turns out that the guest is a woman who's having an affair, and the two men who conned him into opening the door are a private detective and the woman's husband.
