| Brief Description: | Considered one of the last monstres-sacres of the French musical
stage, Yvonne Printemps portrays Jacques Offenbach's beautiful and
tempestuous prima donna, Hortense Schneider (1833-1920) in this
beautifully photographed film with music by Offenbachand gowns by
Dior. Also stars Printemps' real-life husband, Pierre Fresnay, as
Offenbach. "Delightful, witty, with 20 songs. In a selection from
Fortunio, Printemps' is singing that is sensed in the soul" (Stefan
Zucker, Opera Fanatic). French with English subtitles. |
