- Apostrophes is a French literary television program produced and hosted by Bernard Pivot, broadcast live on Antenne 2 between January 10, 1975, and June 22, 1990, every Friday evening at 9:40 p.m. Defined by Bernard Pivot as a "magazine of ideas based on books", the program is gradually becoming a cultural magazine devoted to editorial news, if not to literature taken in its broadest sense. The program offered open discussions between four or five authors around a common subject, but also individual interviews (called "Grands Entretiens") with a single author when the latter had acquired an important place in the academic or literary field. In fifteen years of existence, Apostrophes has become the emblematic literary program of French television at this time, almost in reverse of the initial project. It owes this to a combination of favorable factors: advantageous programming at prime time, continuous support from the directors of the Antenne 27 channel, and an almost new French audiovisual landscape when the program was created. The personality of its presenter, the initial choice of the format of the program (debate around a theme that changes each week), and the heterogeneity of its speakers also play a preponderant role in the recognition of Apostrophes with the general public, book professionals but also literary "all-Paris".
- Les Dossiers de l'Écran is a French television program created by Armand Jammot and broadcast from April 6, 1967 on the second channel of the ORTF, then on Antenne 2 (today France 2), until August 6, 1991.

- Several mountaineers attempt to climb La face de l'Ogre near Chamonix. Their starting point is a small mountain hotel from where many tourists observe them. Among these is Hélène, who has been staying there for a few weeks but who is excluded by the other tourists. Then she meets a city girl named Marion and they immediately become friends. She tells him that she is waiting for her husband who has tried to climb the mountain and should be back any day. But then the weather turns sour, which causes hope to wane but also brings women together in anxiety. Finally the weather improves and Marion's husband comes back but not Hélène's and she must finally accept the truth.
- In the 1930s, the vogue for mountaineering brought to Savoie a cosmopolitan, worldly and athletic crowd eager to conquer the peaks. Jean Servettaz, a Chamonix guide, decided to prepare his son to become a hotelier to keep him away from the objective risks of the high mountains and to spare him the harsh existence of mountain dwellers. That didn't stop Pierre from training and being a fine climber. So he is one of the volunteers of the roped party who must lower the body of his father killed by lightning during a storm on his return from a race in the Drus. Snow and ice make the expedition almost impossible. For having wanted to force a passage anyway, Pierre falls. He will only get up from his hospital bed more determined not to sink into the life of a man of the plains, he will be a guide like his father. Bianca, the daughter of the rich Milanese responsible for the death of his father, comes see him in the hospital.
- The accident of the mountain guide Joseph, the patriarch of Servettaz, marked the spirits. His son Zian decides to take up the torch. Married to Bianca, the daughter of the wealthy Milanese industrialist who accompanied her father in the ascent of the Drus, Zian lives his great love story, a three-way love story, the mountain always remaining the most demanding mistress. Tired of the agonizing expectations and loneliness during her husband's climbs, Bianca returns to Italy. Zian will join her, but the society life of the Milanese bourgeoisie is far from his values and he returns to his mountains, to Chamonix. During a chamois hunting trip in the mountains, Zian falls into a crevasse. Bianca, alerted by a presentiment, returns to the one she loves above all.
