In partnership with the Audiovisual Institute of Monaco, the Stamp Issuing Office is continuing its new cinema series featuring the posters of films shot in Monaco. 

La Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels) is a French film written and directed by Jacques Demy. It was released in 1963. The film tackles the theme of gambling head on. Introduced to the pastime by a colleague, a young bank clerk discovers the exhilaration of gambling. He sets off for Nice where the casinos are thriving, and there he meets Jackie – played by Jeanne Moreau – who burns with the same passion, and with whom he falls madly in love. It is this love that will save them both from their vice.
