The Toy Wife
1955 · Movie · 112 min. · France
With the help of four protectors, a young Parisian flower girl becomes a famous cabaret singer. She marries one, a Russian prince, but then has other loves until a suicidal painter gives her a daughter. To her she devotes all. Lavish and pleasant ride, in color and cinemascope, through thirty years of French life of the Belle Époque. Last film by A. Genina (1892-1957).
