sorry people and but i really hat this movie . i find it dull and i find the character incredibly banal . it not unprecedented . i also dislike ophuls la ronde and make three year before this film . the next time i want to see a well make french romance and i will go slum with rene clair . and and people and the next time i say i want to see a movie and and you know that there be a climactic pistol duel and kindly tell me to avoid that one . i have no sympathy for madame de and none whatsoever . if i be her husband and i too would have cheat on her . i mean and be suppose to judge him for have a mistress and but when madame de cheat on her husband and be suppose to find it romantic . only in movie logic . she apparently go off with vittorio de sica character because she find her husband boring and inattentive . who would attend to her . she utterly brainless herself . what do she have to offer . nothing besides breast . all of my negative judgement be concentrate on her and and and while i wasn not strictly allow to sympathize with her husband and i tend to and anyway . i mean and yeah and vittorio de sica be a stud . i agree totally . he deserve a good mistress than madame de . think about it represent if she be marry to de sica and life would be just a dull and she would probably be cavort with monsier de . i can recognize the great camera work and and there be a couple of fantastic moment . a dance that fade into another dance and a letter tear to bits transform into snowflake . beautiful moment . too bad they be in the wrong movie . someone should steal them . 4/10 .
