      Michelle 'Mike' de la Becque: This is very pretty.

      Martin: There's an exceptional view of the city.

      Michelle 'Mike' de la Becque: I've seen Paris before.

      Martin: Not this Paris, mademoiselle.

      [Walking towards the door]

      Martin: The bedroom suite is this way.

      Michelle 'Mike' de la Becque: Wait. Martin, you've known me for a long time.

      Martin: When you were very little, you wanted to marry me so that you could always have chocolate pudding.

      Michelle 'Mike' de la Becque: At my first ball, it was you who fastened my dress when it came undone.

      Martin: Such memories belong to another lifetime, mademoiselle. One which has come to an end. And which, unfortunately, some of us have outlived.

      Michelle 'Mike' de la Becque: But why have our lifetimes come to an end, our private little worlds?

    Joan as patriot
    Decked out in gowns and outfits designed by Irene, Joan Crawford plays the French version of Scarlett O'Hara with her "Oh, war, war, war" grumbling until she has to duck a bomb while on vacation. Returning to Paris, she finds her house commandeered by the Nazis. She gets only one room for herself and those gowns. In the meantime, her boyfriend, played by Philip Dorn, seems to have gone over to the dark side and is living high. Once she realizes that, she refuses to have anything to do with him. Her patriotism for her country comes to the surface when she helps an RAF pilot on the run, played by John Wayne. Despite some of the other comments on the film, I rather enjoy the handsome Wayne out of his spurs and boots. Because of Wayne, Crawford has to make it look like she's reuniting with her old beau, who has the power to arrange to get him out of the country.

    Very entertaining.
