Description
(Miquette et sa mère). Clouzot knew well the milieu of the theater, having set Quai des Orfèvres in a similar setting, but here he has set aside his signature cynicism for a wistfully light comedy. Based on the turn-of-the-century play, Miquette and Her Mother stars the delightful Danièle Delorme as Miquette, a sheltered young woman with ambitions to become an actress. Against the wishes of her mother (Mireille Perrey), she is swept away by a loose-moraled marquis (Saturnin Fabre) and, once abandoned, finds herself working for a sou-less theater troupe. Clouzot delights in the artifice of this bubbly “boulevard comedy.” Steve SeidWritten by Clouzot, Jean Ferry based on the play by Gaston Armand de Caillavet, Robert de Flers. Photographed by Armand Thirard. With Louis Jouvet, Danièle Delorme, Bourvil, Saturnin Fabre. (93 mins, In French with English subtitles, B&W, 16mm, From Institut Français, permission Pathé)
