Ma femme... homme d'affaires (1932) Directed by Max de Vaucorbeil
Comedy / Musical
aka: My Wife as a Businessman
Film Synopsis
Arlette is a ruthlessly ambitious woman who is prepared to do anything
so that her husband Pierre, a timid, weak-willed mediocrity, will
succeed in business. Realising that Pierre has no particular
aptitude for anything, Arlette has no choice but to get him to bluff
his way to the top. She rents a luxury aparment and, by
exercising her guile, she arranges for her husband to be appointed the
managing director of a perfume factory. There is nothing that a
determined woman cannot achieve if she sets her mind to it...
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
