In French with English subtitles. Also known as
Si Paris nous était Conté
.
Producer/director
Sacha Guitry's
contribution to the 1956 film season was the free-flowing historical pageant
If Paris Were Told to Us
. Guitry himself appears as the ghost of King Louis XI, who relates the story of Paris to a group of fascinated modern-day students. As usual, Guitry manages to "humanize" history by depicting the great men and women of France in amusing warts-and-all fashion. Symbolizing the indomitable spirit of Paris is Robert Lamoureaux as Latude, a prisoner of the Bastille who repeatedly tries to escape, and just as repeatedly is captured and thrown back in jail. A note of pathos is provided by Jacques de Feraudy as the dying Voltaire. Though Sacha Guitry suffered a stroke and was confined to a wheelchair throughout much of the filming of
If Paris Were Told to Us,
he still had two more films left in him before his death in 1957--just 10 days after Bastille Day.
