Pequena Sapeca

For the third time Danielle Darrieux played opposite Albert Préjean .(thanks Didier)They were to meet again in "Caprices" another harmless comedy by Leo Joannon who ended his career as a preachy director desperately trying to edify his audience ("le Défroqué" "Le Secret de Soeur Angèle" etc).

This is based on the same pattern as ,say, "New-York Miami" : a man and a girl spends the whole movie squabbling but in the end the love they make equals the hate they take.

So Préjean /Gable ,a lady killer who's got many a mistress (one of them being particularly jealous) ,saves a girl(Darrieux /Colbert) who wanted to commit suicide ,cause her boss she is in love with has fired her (because ,he tells his mother,"I want to marry her ,but I could not marry my secretary ,so I 've got to dismiss her!").

Lucie turns the house of the chic dandy upside down!She's really a nuisance to live with at home and WHY this man -who anyway could be her father;Darrieux was born in 1917 and Préjean in 1894- wants to marry her is the great mystery of a harmless little comedy,pleasant ,but not particularly memorable.
