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 Seid
