I didn't get what the point of the little girl was... the ginger frizzy haired girl that comes in (asking for a job?) and is told she can't, then she tells them that she's been out late before etc... and then later she's in the audience... is there any point to that? Or was it just so that they could tell that story about her father living in the attic?

. . . and is told she can't, then she tells them that she's been out late before etc...She is Jewish. share
You see the girl at the final scene in the audience? That means it was post-war, and some Jewish people survived from Holocaust. They were no longer descriminated, they survived. They could have a life like everyone else, walking into the theatre and not being worried about getting caught and being imprisoned.
Earlier, that girl, a Polish-Parisian, was living dangerously, and helping out her family. The theatre couldn't hire her because of her ethnic stadus.
I don't intend to be offensive, but I have to defend my opinions.
Ah yeah! Ok that makes sense... thankyou :o)

I didn't see the little girl in the post-Liberation audience. Was she there?
I did see her in the audience for the first night of La Disparue, with the yellow star in full view. (Her scarf that she said earlier she would use to hide it had slipped.) Marion had thoughtlessly made the mistake of suggesting she come to the play, and Arlette had scolded Marion for suggesting it, because it would be extremely dangerous for her to come.
By law, Jews were not allowed in theatres, cinemas, public parks, or restaurants by that time. They were subject to immediate arrest if caught in any of those places.
That scene was one of the few errors that Truffaut made in creating the period atmosphere. I don't think she would have dared come to the theatre and sit in a good seat, in the orchestra, a section of the theater that was full of German officers.
She might have come because she loved the theatre -- but I think she would have sat in the cheaper seats, away from the Germans. And she would have been more careful about keeping that star covered.
I didn't think much why they had that girl in the movie, except that I found it a great emotional way of saying that people, whatever race they are, rich or poor, love art just like everyone else. I love the part when the first staging of the play ends, and we can see she has tears in her eyes. Great.
Are you saying that real life isn't like the movies?
