James King reviews Populaire.  France 1958, Rose is a young lady destined for life as a housewife.  Determined to hold on to her independence she decides to apply for a job as a secretary.  However, after a disastrous interview all seems lost until she unveils an extraordinary gift.  Much to the delight of her would-be employer, she is quite the skilled typist and the two embark on a journey to be the best.
