21 Dec 1938 • Comedy, Crime, Drama • 1h 43m
The many adventures of dynamic beauty Vera Vronsky (Edwige Feuillère) who with the help of two likeable accomplices lure vulnerable rich men with elaborate scams involving fake "valuable" jewelry pieces...Inevitably Vera falls for a handsome victim, life seems complete, in each other's arms the story could have ended, however this tale is not over yet. Unluckily Vera's past unexpectedly resurfaces. Her former partners in crime are now broke and unable to replace her devious charms, Désormeaux (Jean-Max) in particular, pursues her hinting at blackmail if she does not comply...This lightly humorous comedy/drama is a highly entertaining classic from the broad cinematic spectrum of director Raymond Bernard. It is a worldly comedy of elegant characters and lavish social settings, distinctly Classic French with a hint of American style comedies of the time, notably those of Ernst Lubitsch...
