The characters François and Serge mention their mutual friend by the name of Jacques Rivette. This is of course an inside joke. This great Nouvelle Vague film director was not widely known back then.
Le Beau Serge
François returns to his village after a long absence. He finds his friend Serge who has married Yvonne, and has developed an alcohol problem after the death of their stillborn child. Serge has become an angry, bitter figure not unlike the roles of James Dean, refusing to face reality and adulthood and François must help him.
