Third and final effort by François Campaux ,a listless but not uninteresting story ,part ballet ,and part what you can call "Moroccan western" .
A légionnaire,Pierre, (Yves Vincent) attends a ballet the prima ballerina of which , Monique, is an old flame of his ;he follows her to Paris after his discharge ,but cannot adjust himself to his new life ; finding no job ,he decides to go back to Morocco where he becomes a horse breeder ...He has really found his way in life ; besides ,he meets a widow,Anna, herself a horse breeder ,and when the ballerina comes to join him in his new homeland , not only she does not like the farmer's life and finds it hard to ride a horse ,but she also considers Anna a rival.
Ludmilla Tcherina was a dancer,and she does not need any stand-in for the superb ballet sequences; the excellent Odile Versois, who was featured in Campaux's previous effort " bel amour" , portrays a determined woman ,doing what they would call at the time "a man's job" ,helping his friend to find back his stolen horses. Moroccan western indeed! Bad title .
