Falbalas

This brand-new restoration of the scandalous 1945 drama Falbalas by Jacques Becker (Touchez Pas Au Grisbi, Le Trou, Casque D'Or) stars Raymond Rouleau, Micheline Presle and Jean Chevrier and is set in the glamorous world of fashion in Paris. Micheline, a young woman from the provinces, arrives in Paris to prepare for her marriage to a silk manufacturer from Lyon, Daniel Rousseau. Flush with the romance and excitement of Paris, she ends up falling in love with the best friend of her husband-to-be, the fashion designer Philippe Clarence. An unremitting womaniser, Clarence seduces her into a tempestuous liaison doomed for failure.
