Franz: You calling me handsome?
Léocadie: Who else? I live nearby. Come and warm up. The Spring air is cool.
Franz: I have to get back to the barracks.
Léocadie: It's still early. My place is cozier.
Franz: I'm sure it is.
Léocadie: Not so loud. There are cops around.

This seems a little old fashioned even allowing for it's period setting. Perhaps it's the reluctance of the director to go beyond even the merest suggestion of congress that gives it an air of something made in the late thirties or forties. It certainly has charm though and Ophul's cameras twirl and glide like the carousel itself. Always looking sumptuous (perhaps it shouldn't) and always light-hearted (perhaps it should be more serious) it is a pleasant enough viewing. Oscar Strauss' music helps enormously and is in complete harmony with the visuals. Simon Signoret as the prostitute, seen at the start and finish is exemplary and Simone Simon shines most brightly as the seductive maid.
