The Earrings of Madame de ... is a 1953 French romantic drama film directed by Max Ophüls and starring Charles Boyer. I watched this on HBO Max. Romantic drama isn't really my thing, but this is a beautiful movie.
trailer:
Senses of Cinema has an article examining the film. Roger Ebert gives it a 4-star review and says it "is one of the most mannered and contrived love movies ever filmed. It glitters and dazzles, and beneath the artifice it creates a heart, and breaks it." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 97%.

Looks like another film to watch when Himself is otherwise occupied with sports
ReplyDeleteYes! Charles Boyer, after all :)
Delete...it wouldn't interest me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not.
DeleteI'm not so much into actual love stories, but something romantic with a bit of suspense (even romantic suspense) is always good. Maybe I will check this out later on today since it's going to snow until this evening. Happy Friday.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you like it.
DeleteI've been seeing news about all the snow. It passed us by.

ReplyDeleteYes. I think Boyer lifts any movie.
DeleteSometimes I think I should get HBO Max. This is one of those times.
ReplyDeleteI want Hulu lol, but I can't have everything.
DeleteThis sounds different, but I don't have the required channel.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I saw your remark to Erika. I'll gladly send you MY snow so you don't feel left out!
We're under an advisory with mixed precip (freezing rain), but I don't expect it to amount to much.
DeleteI added this movie to my HBOMax list. So much to watch!! LOL! :)
