One of her earlier parts ,"mourir d'aimer" (André Cayatte,1970),based on a true story led her to jail .Here again,she plays one of the unfortunate inmates who make teddy bears to earn some money In jail.The "prison for women" is a very hard subject to deal with,and here the director was not up to scratch,leaving the actresses free to put on their usual little act.Best part does not come from Girardot though,but from Marie-Christine Barrault( an AA winner for "cousin cousine" 1975) as a chief warder :her portrayal is not unlike that of Louise Fletcher in "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" .Charlotte Silvera ,the director said:"they try to make the prisoners passive submissive women,losing any desire,any longing..."Perhaps so,but with few exceptions like Jacques Becker's "le trou" ,French movies about prisons are not particularly memorable.
