The Light Across the Street	comment	The Light Across the Street (French title: La Lumière d'en face) is a 1955 French drama film directed by Georges Lacombe.Georges Marceau (Raymond Pellegrin) is a truck driver dating the beautiful Olivia (Brigitte Bardot). After he gets in a bad accident that kills his friend and leaves him psychologically scarred, Georges is forbidden from driving and has to take a job running a cafe. Olivia convinces him to marry her so she can take care of him, going against the doctor's advice as sex is one of the things Georges cannot engage in while recovering. They refrain from consummating, but this leaves them frustrated and it doesn't help that handsome gas station attendant Pietri (Roger Pigaut) works just across the street from them.
