La Reine de Biarritz (1934)
Directed by Jean Toulout

Drama
aka: The Queen of Biarritz

Film Synopsis

The beautiful Elenita of Sierra Mirador is the darling of Biarritz.  Admiring eyes descend upon her wherever she goes, and how thrilled she is when she succeeds in luring a young married man away from his wife for what turns out to be the most intense love affair she can imagine.  This alluring siren cannot account for the incredible power she exerts over the male sex, but she takes full advantage of it.  As she enjoys herself, living life to the full and generally getting away with it, Elenita becomes increasingly mindful of the fact that her strait-laced mother always has her disapproving eye on her.  In the end, Elenita decides that she must become a respectable woman after all, so she gives up her wanton philandering and returns to her husband...
