Coeur-sur-Mer (1951)
Film Review
A hackneyed plot punctuated by musical numbers of the most dismal kind... There's not much to like about Coeur-sur-Mer, even though it boasts the comedic talents of some fine performers - Jean Tissier, Armand Bernard and Pauline Carton, to name just three. Directed with no real enthusiasm or flair by Jacques Daniel-Norman (the man who would later lend his support to Tino Rossi's most outrageous cinematic atrocity, Son dernier Noël), the film withers and dies even before it has reached the end of the first reel. Thereafter, it's about as stimulating as watching paint dry - endurable only for someone with an exceptionally high boredom threshold.© James Travers 2014
