Description
Claude Autant-Lara found his sophisticated and slyly subversive voice with these four romances, produced during the dark days of the German occupation. Sumptuously appointed even while being critical of class hierarchy, these films endure as a testament to the quick wit and exquisite visual sense of the director whose name they established.
