I gioielli di Madame de...

La storia

Louise (Darrieux), moglie del conte André, vende degli orecchini all'insaputa del marito per pagare dei debiti. Da quel momento gli orecchini passano di mano in mano arrivando infine tra quelle del conte Franco Donati (De Sica) che, innamoratosi di Louise, li offre alla donna come pegno d'amore. Finisce tutto con un duello tra il marito e lo spasimante. Dal romanzo di Louise de Vilmorin; l'arte di Max Ophüls lo traforma in un grande, tenerissimo pezzo di cinema, malinconica, soave e crudele rievocazione di una belle epoque patria ideale ell'autore e metaofra della vita.
