And now for a radical statement from a rather old fashioned guy….
Okay. Time for me to make a bit of a speech. I love French films and have noticed something about Max Ophüls’ films (yes, I know he was German but made films in France). Practically all of his famous films have to do with adultery or prostitution. Now I guess I am a pretty old fashioned guy, but I don’t enjoy scripts about these topics. So, although I’ll admit he was a master storyteller, I just had a hard time getting into the stories or caring about the characters. Who cares about the husband or wife in this film? They both were pretty despicable rich folks who seemed to have nothing to do with their time but gamble, shoot people and flirt with people other than their spouses. What idiots.

The film is about a General and his wife the Comptese. They both have every reason to be happy and you think through the first part of the film that they are. But, you do know that the Comptese is unwise–she’s run up gambling debts and cannot pay for them without telling her husband. They CAN afford to pay but she doesn’t want him to know, so she sells her prize diamond earrings. Then, she claims they were lost. Later, the husband learns that she sold them and buys them back from the man who bought them. Then, he gives them to his mistress. In the meantime, she begins an affair with another man and he is able to buy the earrings and give them to her! There’s a bit more to this and there is a sad ending, but I’ll let you see this for yourself.

I can’t fault the film’s acting. It stars Danielle Darrieux, Charles Boyer and Vittorio De Sica–all very fine actors. And, as I said above, the film looked lovely–really, really nice. I just didn’t care about the characters and so I have a hard time really endorsing the film wholeheartedly. Worth seeing, but not a must-see.
