I have very little French, but hearing something like "c'est un cadeaux" and seeing "es ist ein Geschenk" and realizing in that brief moment I could have used either the subtitles or just listened and gotten it was an interesting experience.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-10705188580229511132020-01-19T06:19:43.556-06:002020-01-19T06:19:43.556-06:00This doesn't help much, but I found this on Ro...This doesn't help much, but I found this on Rotten Tomatoes:<br /><br /><b>"In this Swiss film, the titular Marie-Louise is a young French lass who is evacuated to Switzerland when her country is overrun by the Nazis. Suffering a nervous breakdown, she is given shelter by a wealthy family. Unfortunately, living in the lap of luxury turns Marie-Louise into a spoiled brat."</b><br /><br />I tried searching French-language Wikipedia, but no dice. The entry for the film is sparser than the entry in English-language Wikipedia. There are some online "encyclopédies du cinema" that I can flip through. I'll see what I can find and report back soon.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.com
