Description

Synopsis: Jacques Becker’s dark, offbeat comedy about a failing marriage stars Daniel Gelin as Edouard, a poor pianist married to Caroline (Anne Vernon), a beautiful girl from a middle-class family. Caroline’s uncle Claude (Jean Galland), a complete snob who looks down on Edouard like the rest of his family, invites the couple to a party at which he is expected to play for his supper in front of Claude’s important friends. Add the fact that Claude’s son Alain (Jacques Franois) is in love with Caroline and this evening is destined for disaster.
