Arthur, a twenty something young man, is an apprentice tailor under Albert, an aging tailor who wants him to take over his shop when he dies. When Arthur meets this young and beautiful actress at the Odeon Theater, he becomes kind of obsessed with her, and even takes her mensurations to design her the perfect dress. But the young actress warns him: she isn't nice with men, and she's already hurt plenty. Arthur doesn't care. He keeps on seeing her, even though things won't turn out the way he thought they would.
A gorgeous B&W film. 100% Parisian, sometimes pretentious, especially because of some lines - voice over declaiming Tchekhov -, but still enjoyable enough. And now, I feel very nostalgic. Paris, I want you back.
Translation of content:
girl voice: "there are lots of things men don't understand. a young girl will be more attracted to a poor guy than to a lucky one. because each girl is tempted by an active love.
man and old man : "i'm late! - where are you running to? - to the theater!"
girl screaming: "go away!"
old man and man: "do you really think i care about you liking her? - i don't know, she's gonna need me"
