Le Diable au corps (1947)

£0.00

(Devil in the Flesh)


Country: FR
Technical: bw 110m
Director: Claude Autant-Lara
Cast: Micheline Presle, Gérard Philipe, Denise Grey

Synopsis:

During the First World War a young student starts up an affair with a girl just a year or two older, but who is married to a soldier at the front.

Review:

Fair sex melodrama, quite strong for its day, though without the erotic élan of the book. The actors are of course too old for their roles, and ultimately it is a pictorialization of a classic rather than a truthful rendering of the source novel's uncanny marriage of adolescent callousness remorsefully caught in hindsight.
