I have always enjoyed Edwige Feuillère's film, so I decided to watch this film without knowing anything about the plot... simply out of curiosity.
What a disaster of a film!
I actually struggled to watch it until the end.
It is absolutely dreadful: Bad acting (even Feuillère cannot keep it going), ridiculous plot, bad dialogue... really nothing to redeem it in any way shape or form.
A special mention for Raymond Rouleau who is for me one the worst French actors I have ever seen (alongside Yves Montand).
So if this film tickle your fancy, my best advice is to avoid this turkey and choose another one...

Being a Danielle Darrieux's fan, I was looking forward to seeing this film, but I was very disappointed and (quite frankly) annoyed by this ridiculous cinematic fanfare.
Danielle Darrieux was obviously trying to recapture and regain the success she had during the wars years with movies like "Premier rendez-vous" or "Caprices" where she played a zany and spoilt little creature... But this time it did not work at all!
François Périer is so bad in this film. He is forever shouting and gesticulating and quite painful to watch.
Only André Luguet and Paulette Dubost emerge relatively unscathed from this dreadful production.
My advice is to pass this one and watch other Danielle Darrieux's vehicles...

I had long wanted to watch this movie, given it featured two of the biggest stars of German cinema: Zarah Leander and Marika Rökk... and what a disappointment it was!
Apart from the fact, the whole story is historically grotesquelly inaccurate... the male leads are wooden... and as usual, Marika Rökk dances like a heifer... Only Zarah Leander manages to captivate the audience with her songs and her (beautifully photographed) languorous face.
The song " Nur nicht aus Liebe weinen" will continue to haunt you well after the end of the film!
All in all, this film will be appreciated by Zarah Leander's fan. If you are not (or if you are not familiar with 1940's Gernan cinema), you might want to give it a miss and opt for another of Leander's films.
