Notes: Originally released in 1939 (107 mins.);
Summary: A satire on the decadence of the pre-World War II French aristocracy. Renoir paints a picture of a social world where pleasure is the prize, where intrigue, guile and the lack of honesty are part of the “rules” of a dying class. Unpopular on its first release at the eve of World War II, the film was withdrawn and suppressed until the late 50’s when a complete print was found and restored.
