Beautifully crafted, but a very sad film. Out of practically nowhere wander into Joanne's (Catherine Jacob) hair salon, Manon (Marie-Lyse LaBerge-Forest) seeking to have her tongue pierced and Louise, her adopted snow goose.
Grace Moore's last screen appearance was in the French production of one of her most famous roles, the title role in the Gustave Charpentier opera Louise. It was also her only appearance in a foreign language film.

If you are a music lover (as well as a film goer) you will surely care to have a COMPLETE version of Albert Gance's MUSICAL film, one which does not -unexplanably- leave out the precious first 5 seconds of the opening credits (which use the very same music that can be heard in the famous characteristic opening bars of Charpentier's opera & masterpiece) ---which is unfortunately what the Bel Canto Society otherwise good transfer does ! So perhaps you'd better not hurry to get this DVD crippled copy & luckily stick to your French 1994 René Château VHS edition (and why not burn it to a personal DVD...
