Very nice to watch if you love Leslie Caron

Leslie Caron plays an overworked housewife who is locked in a toxic relationship with her tyrranical husband.

Now this is a very old drama and it is a bit cardboardy set wise. I guess the budget went on Leslie Caron. My beef is not with her genuine French accent, but with her terrible wig.

I'm sure better rugs existed in 1982.

It turns out her husband was even worse than we suspected and was both a collaborateur and double agent.

Of course justice was served on him, and since then he has both a heart condition and a penchant for controlling his wife.

I loved the whole thing as it was both terrifically cheesy and like a rather good stage play.

My favourite bits : Caron repeating 'Run Rabbit run...' as Run, 'rabbits' Run. So cute!

I don't know why people slate these nice bits of period drama, personally I find them interesting and nostalgic because of the actors.
