The French Cinema: Edward and Caroline

BBC Two

Fri 22^nd Aug 1969, 21:05 on BBC Two England

Presenting a series of feature films
starring Daniel Gelin, Anne Vernon.

Money, fame, and background temporarily separate two young lovers.
Of its genre, "Edward and Caroline" is almost perfect. It is divided into two stanzas: the young couple's intimate and trivial home life, and the party they attend at their rich uncle's mansion. The apt social satire of the party owes a lot to Renoir's "La Regle du Jeu", and the fascinating contrast between one of the guests, Florence Borch and her husband Spencer, a resigned American, is beautifully observed.
Daniel Gelin and Anne Vernon are ideally cast as the young lovers. One is totally involved with both of them and the trivia that makes up their everyday life. Gelin has since played numerous romantic leads and now sports a few sophisticated grey hairs. He appeared as the young Napoleon in last week's French Cinema. Anne Vernon has been seen less frequently. One of her latest films was "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg".
