Camille,Madeleine,Marguerite and Sophie...
4 September 2005
...the four heroines of the countess of Segur in an erotic movie!One should remark that they are no longer girlies but babes.If you have read the novel,you might find this overtly erotic adaptation entertaining. There were dark sides in the earnest countess's work which the script writers exploit here.

Mrs Fichini punished Sophie with her whip,but here the victim seems to enjoy the flagellation.Hence,Mrs de Fleurville's smart idea: to punish Sophie ,she deprives her of flogging.Numerous episodes are free(I mean free) adaptations of the novel:when Marguerite and Sophie get lost in the forest,they are saved by M.Hurel,but he's not a butcher:he's some kind of guru.The final fete becomes a very special evening,thanks to the maid Eliza's-the good Eliza who used to take care of the four young ones- magic potion.

It's moderately funny provided that you know the countess's books atmosphere.
