Description
On-screen:	The beach
Description:	Light, upbeat theme for winds and strings to establish the setting; on-screen we see a coastal town and luggage stickers for coastal resorts in France (Biarritz, Deauville, Nice, and Monte Carlo), followed by a shot of a spinning roulette wheel; the light music correlates with these images to inform the listener that the movie is set on the French Caribbean coast and involves upper-class travelers who gamble; the tune itself is taken from silent film music
