action

The main character of the film is the ambitious country doctor Sansfin. He discovers the orphan Lamiel, who has blossomed into beauty, with a farmer and places her as a reader in the nearby castle of his ducal patient de Miossens. Lamiel soon ran away to Paris with her son Fédor, where she even married a countess through the mediation of Doctor Sansfin, after the country doctor had acquired her nobility and dowry through an adoption . He himself rises to become a sought-after fashion doctor, although without turning an interested admirer of Lamiel into one of her numerous lovers. But when his now very calculating protective child , who was never able to feel happy in the midst of the many love adventures, really falls in love with the very male burglar and murderer Roger Valbert, jealousy still awakens in him. He challenges the persecuted to a dangerous visit to the Paris Opera - and the shot fired at the discovered Valbert hits Lamiel fatally.

Reviews

The lexicon of international film does not think much of the work: "Cinematic insignificant, frivolous story told based on the Stendhal novel fragment that aims to entertain in the style of the" Caroline Chérie "films". Even the Protestant film observer found only a few nice words: “The sometimes appealing packaging of the [...] film cannot hide the meaningless content for today's world. To be dispensed with! ”The judgment of the Spiegel is also negative:“ Jean Aurel (director) and Cécil Samt-Laurent (book), manufacturers of common haberdashery goods, shot their costume cinema based on a good book: Stendhal's socially critical fragment of the novel 'Lamiel' is called Originally named, but any resemblance is purely coincidental. Because the film-Lamiel [...] immediately loves Barbarella through a flat comic strip world, and what it looks like in there, nobody challenges anything. "
