this be one of the quintessential film of the classic age of french cinema . one just have to look at the credit represent direct by duvivier and with fernandel and baur and jouvet ( one of his best role ) and marie bell and francoise rosay . all of them at the peak of their form . and hold together musically by jaubert haunt theme melody and which i can still hum in the nostalgia cupboard of my memory fifty year after i first hear it . the story be slight . actually it be a series of vignette and string together by the bittersweet pilgrimage of a woman who set out to find again the men who sign her first dance card . but that be just a pretext for a marvelous set of character sketch play by a marvelous cast of character actor serve by a great character director . .
