Un triomphe, à la suite duquel, avec son copain de galère Guy Bedos, Jean-Paul décide d’en finir avec les représentations de patronage. Sur le camion de farine qui les ramène à Paris, il lui lance: « Je me présente au Conservatoire et si je n’y entre pas, j’abandonne le métier. » Il s’accordera un an de sursis… et sera admis à la troisième tentative, en octobre 1952. Un portrait de l'As des as : révolution cinématographique à lui tout seul. Belmondo est l'acteur d'une époque de ce que fut la France.
