A hotel. Its clients. The life.
Two couples are the pillars of a story about love, sacrifice , acceptance- a prostitute and her amant, a young lady, too romantic, in first part, to accept the death for love and her less courageous boyfriend .
Two gun fires opening and closing the film.
Not the story itself , a large puzzle about sentimental relations and drops of bovarism are, for me, the seductive ingredients, but the beautiful acting of Arlety- jealouse and possesive-, Louis Jouvet - cold and affectues- , the impressive young Annabella and the French language of period.
Indeed, the basic gift for viewer is a sort of nostalgia - refuge, more than the story itself.
