In Le Viager - a 1972 film reminiscent of Alec Guinness's Kind Hearts and Coronets - the old lad who has been set up with a viager - a legal contract whereby, since he has no heirs, he will be given a lifetime pension, and the person who pays the instalments will get the house when he dies - is singing happily along with it on the radio. He is a sweet and innocent old gent, and those who wish him ill always come to harm, while he lives happily on, helping all those around him.
