:44:03
What is the routine?
:44:06
The prostitute trades on
her charms...

:44:09
... to build up a good clientele and
establish lucrative conditions

:44:16
Must she be beautiful?
:44:18
No, although beauty is an important
factor in a prostitute's career

:44:24
It attracts the attention of
the pimp...

:44:28
... since physical allure can be
an immense source of profit

:44:33
Must she register?
:44:35
Since the law of 13th April, 1946...
:44:39
... prostitutes are subject to
medical but not police supervision

:44:45
The 1946 law...
:44:48
... and decree 2,253 of
5th November, 1947...

:44:52
... established the National Sanitary
Register for all women...

:44:56
... shown by conclusive evidence...
:44:59
... to be leading a life of
prostitution

:45:03
But what must I do?
:45:06
Everywhere the procedure is the same
:45:09
By her dress, attitude
and make-up...

:45:13
... the prostitute indicates
her trade

:45:15
Sometimes, in defiance of the law,
she appeals directly to the client

:45:22
What do I charge?
:45:24
From 300 to 15,000 francs...
:45:27
... for a meeting varying from
a few minutes to an hour

:45:32
The rate for a whole night ranges
from 5,000 to 50,000 francs

:45:38
Can I go anywhere I like?
:45:40
Controls have been attempted
:45:42
In Paris, for instance...
:45:44
... police regulation of 25th August,
1958, forbids loitering with intent...

:45:50
... at certain hours in the
Bois de Boulogne...

:45:56
... and around the Champs Elysées
:45:58
Do I keep all the money?
