The short French film La boulangère de Monceau (1963) was shown in the U.S. with the translated title The Girl at the Monceau Bakery. The movie was written and directed by Éric Rohmer. It's the first of Rohmer's Six Moral Tales.
Director Barbet Schroeder, in his first acting role, is the young man who narrates the film. Michèle Girardon portrays Sylvie, whom the young man knows he will love, if he could only find her again in her neighborhood.
When he can't find her, he makes it a habit to flirt with Jacqueline, the young woman who works in the bakery. (Portrayed by Claudine Soubrier.)
Like all of Rohmer's films, there's lots of talk, and not much action. However, in his later films, the talk was more interesting, as were the characters.
This movie has a strong 7.6 IMDb rating. I didn't care for it, and rated it 6.
