The 400 Blows

The 400 Blows, or Les Quatre Cents Coups, is a 1959 French film by François Truffaut about an ordinary teen in Paris, thought to be a troublemaker by his parents and teachers. The French title is a reference to the French expression "faire les quatre cents coups," which means "to raise hell," but the English title is a literal translation, missing the meaning.
