Fantaisie d'un jour

1955 · 90 min

A gentle, charming French comedy that drifts along pleasantly, poking light fun at vanity and modest dreams without ever turning cruel.

Overview: Thérèse is the daughter of a modest couple. One day, she wins a voucher for two hundred thousand francs in a department store. Dazzled, the little typist chose a fur cape, much to her parents' disappointment. She has a fiancé, François, whom she now scorns a little. She returns to him, however, after an unfortunate foray into the big wide world, and gets rid of the cumbersome cape forever.
