Directed by Max Ophüls • Drama • 1939 • France • French with English subtitles
Starring Edwige Feuillère, George Rigaud

From the masterful Max Ophüls comes this bittersweet melodrama, glittering with a dash of film noir. Edwige Feuillère commands the screen as a once-bourgeois woman reduced to dancing in a disreputable nightclub to support her young son. When her lost love, now a successful doctor, reappears, she puts on the charade that her life has been far more fortunate. But maintaining the illusion won’t be easy.
