Les Maris de Léontine

1947 · 90 min

A gentle, talky French comedy of manners where old scandals surface to deflate a stern matriarch, watched with an easy, amused patience.

Directed by
René Le Hénaff
Starring
Gil Roland, Pierre Jourdan, Jacqueline Gauthier
Overview
Léontine, an old baroness, opposes her granddaughter's wedding for moral reasons. But Adolphe, her first husband reminds her that her own conduct in the past was far from irreproachable. Didn't she cheat on him ? And after her divorce from him and her remarriage with a baron, didn't she do the same thing to her second husband? Léontine then realizes she is in no position to lecture her granddaughter, all the more as she loves her fiancé truly.
