Jacques becker's dark, offbeat comedy about a failing marriage stars daniel gélin as Édouard, a poor pianist married to caroline anne vernon, a beautiful girl from a middle class family. Caroline's uncle claude jean galland, a complete snob who looks down on Édouard like the rest of his family, invites the couple to a party at which he is expected to play for his supper in front of claude's important friends. Add the fact that claude's son alain jacques françois is in love with caroline and this evening is destined for disaster.special featuresinterview with ginette vincendeauedouard et caroline on au cinema ce soir © ina 1974jacques becker on le jazz et jeunesse © ina 1956
