Details: Product Description the most cherished work from french master max ophuls (la ronde), the earrings of madame de . . . Is a profoundly emotional, cinematographically adventurous tale of deceptive opulence and tragic romance. When an aristocratic woman known only as Madame de (Le Plaisir�s extraordinary Danielle Darrieux) sells a pair of earrings given to her by her husband (Gaslight�s Charles Boyer) in order to pay a debt, she sets off a chain reaction of financial and carnal consequences that can end only in despair. Ophuls�s adaptation of louise de vilmorin�s incisive fin de siecle novel employs the elegant and precise camera work for which the director is so justly renowned, to ravishing effect.
