after sixty year what be still most striking about this film be the evocation of flemish art from the opening scene in a market place crowd with brueghel figurine to the subsequent grouping of the good burgher of boom in the style of rembrandt and the rubenesque womenfolk . charles spaak turn in his usual reliable script and jacques feyder film it more than competently with his wife and francoise rosay in a key role . louis jouvet be the class act and not unusually but the plot be a little creaky it fail a a musical on broadway in the early fifty where it play under the title carnival in flanders and leave in it wake an endure standard here that rainy day . certainly worth another look .
