| The Grand Maneuver | comment |
The Grand Maneuver (French: Les Grandes Manœuvres) is a 1955 French-Italian romantic film directed by René Clair.In 1913 France, Armand de la Verne (Gérard Philippe) is a cavalry officer stationed at a small town. He is notorious for his romantic conquests and juggles several women at any given time. He makes a bet with his regiment that he can make any woman fall in love with him before they have to leave in one month on maneuvers. To this end, he sets his sights on the newcomer Marie-Louise Rivière (Michèle Morgan), a recent divorcee who feels reluctant to give in to any amorous attentions, though she can't help feeling attracted to Armand all the same. Meanwhile, Armand's friend Félix Leroy (Yves Robert) has a subterfuge-free romance of his own with the daughter of a photographer, Lucie (Brigitte Bardot). | |
