An Omnibus film to mark the centenary of the birth of the French writer Colette.
Music-hall artist, journalist and beautician - three times married and lover of women as well as of men - everyone knows the film of her story Gigi, and of all French writers of the century, she's probably the most widely read. This programme looks back from her Paris flat - during the German occupation in the 40s - at the story of her life, seen from a window in the war...
With her daughter Colette de Jouvenel and her last husband Maurice Goudeket

Colette: pages 60-62. Colette's 'Cheri' begins Thursday, BBC2, 8.30 pm.
