Lettres d'amour
1942 Drama / Comedy / History
Review
The enchanting Odette Joyeux gives arguably her best performance in this delightful piece
of satire. The film allows its director, Claude Autant-Lara, to express a
similar anti-Bourgeois sentiment to that seen in his other works of this period, notably
Douce (1943).
