Les Femmes sont folles (1950)
Film Synopsis
Self-made man Hector Robilleau has recently acquired a French historical castle, where he lives with his two daughters, his son Émile and Gaston, the husband of the eldest daughter Marguerite. Gaston is jealous and anxious over Marguerite's obsession with books by a certain Robert Patrick. He is convinced that his wife has fallen in love with the writer, even though no one has ever seen his face. For this reason, he decides to engage the services of Claude Barrois, a second-rate actor. Gaston pays Claude to pose as Robert Patrick at a reception given by Hector, to which only the rich and titled are invited. Even though Claude plays the part of Robert Patrick as a rude, uncultivated person, Marguerite cannot prevent herself from becoming more deeply enamoured of him...© James Travers
