The Temptation of Barbizon

1946 · 100 min

A gentle, old-fashioned fable where celestial and infernal meddlers gently tug at a young couple's happiness, charming rather than suspenseful.

Directed by
Jean Stelli
Genres
Comedy, Fantasy, Romance
Overview
Daniel Gelin and Juliette Faber star as a blissfully happy honeymooning couple. They are so happy that they arouse the jealous attentions of Satan. The Dark Prince sends an emissary to beak up the romance, but his advocate is promptly challenged by a representative from "up above."
