Boulevard is a 1960 French comedy-drama film directed by Julien Duvivier and starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Monique Brienne, Pierre Mondy and Magali Noël.
Georges "Jojo" Castagnier is an adolescent who lives in a poor room under the roof of a block of apartments in the Pigalle section of Paris. He ran away from home when he realized that his stepmother hates him. Among Jojo's many neighbors is the object of his affection, gorgeous nightclub dancer Jenny Dorr. But, to Jojo's disappointment, Jenny becomes the lover of former boxer Dicky, who spends his time loafing about the Pigalle cafés.
Jojo lacks for steady work, but manages to meet his financial obligations with a series of odd jobs. He tries selling magazines, which is a success for a while, and posing for artists, which proves to be a disaster. Eventually, he woos his neighbor Marietta, a girl more suited to his age. But when things go awry, Jojo becomes desperate and tries to commit suicide by jumping off the roof of his building.
