What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1950: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Evelyne, the young wife of Judge Bertal, falls in love with Remy, who lives in Paris, on holiday in Italy. After following him in the lovers city, she realises Remy is whom she really loves, and decides to return home to inform her husband – but her plane crashes.
