Summary:
"French master Max Ophuls's most cherished work, The Earrings of
Madame
de
... is an emotionally profound, cinematographically adventurous tale of false opulence and tragic romance. When the aristocratic woman known only as
Madame
de
... (the extraordinary Danielle Darrieux) sells her earrings, unbeknownst to her husband(Charles Boyer), in order to pay personal debts, she sets off a chain reaction, the financial and carnal consequences of which can only end in despair. Ophuls adapts
Louise
