  1. I'm not sure I've ready anything by him, though I have always loved his name. So musical.

    1. We had to read de Maupassant in school, but I can't remember what we read.

    1. I don't think one flirty smile is playing with fire and means we deserve to be tracked down. At least these days the man's behavior would not be brushed aside. The 50's was a completely different world, wasn't it!

    2. I think I put my response wrong. I didn't mean she deserved what she got. Rape is still rape, under every and any circumstance.

  4. I wonder if the scenery of France in the 1950's is romantic. It is fascinating to see how views of a place have changed over the decades. Hugs-Erika

    1. Yes, and the black and white of the film gives a different feel. I'm glad women can have different expectations now.
