French Without Tears (1940) DVD-R
Starring Ray Milland, Ellen Drew, Janine Darcey, David Tree, Roland Culver
Directed by Anthony Asquith
Print: black/white
Runtime: 86 min.
Genre: comedy
Print Quality: B
This Anglo-American coproduction was based on the popular West End
stage comedy by Terrence Rattigan. It all begins when Diana (Ellen Drew),
the sister of a British boy studying in France, arrives in town to flirt with
all of her brothers' schoolmates. Alan (Ray Milland), one of the students,
successfully resists Diana's charms-meaning of course that Alan and
Diana will be in each other's arms by fadeout time. Much of the wit and
zest of the original stage production has been blunted for the screen,
moving one critic to describe French Without Tears as "Comedy Without
Laughs". In all fairness, however, the film does boast a hilarious drunk
scene in a musty old French wine cellar.
