Wissenswertes
While wrongly billed as Renoir's last American film (there were several later films of note, including The Woman on the Beach), this pleasant film is a far cry from his early masterpieces - like Rules of The Game, The Grand illusion and The Crime of M. Lang. It's primarily notable for the small things it reveals after close examination. Paulette Goddard, in her mid-30s at the time, still manages to show the smiling presence and nuanced emotions that so charmed Charlie Chaplin; at one point, stumbling while she tries to balance a tray with a cake on it, she makes moves that are pure Chaplin. The cast is a study in the history of filmmaking: Dame Judith Anderson, whose credits range from Rebecca to Star Trek III (and once toured with a theater company performing the lead role in Hamlet); Irene Ryan would achieve fame decades later as one of the stars of The Beverly Hillbillies; and Burgess Meredith - who co-produced and co-wrote - played in hundreds of films and television productions, from the original 1939 Of Mice and Men through Rocky I, II, III, and V.

When the Captain (Meredith) is going to the July 14 celebration, the shadow of the boom and mic are visible.

Paulette Godard is the real reason to watch this movie

The Diary of a Chambermaid (1946) was directed by the great Jean Renoir. This is an U.S. film, although the action was set in France, and directed by a French director.

The movie is set in rural France in 1885. As the title suggests, a new chambermaid has arrived at a mansion of an eccentric couple. (Actually, almost everyone in the movie is eccentric to a greater or lesser degree.)

The person who's not eccentric, but totally evil, is the valet, Joseph. Francis Lederer portrayed Joseph, who is evil to the core. He looks like the villain that he is. (Actually, in one film. he played Count Dracula).

The reason to see is film is to watch Paulette Goddard at work. She was the classic Hollywood beauty of her time. And, 70 years later, she is still a classic Hollywood beauty. Better than that, she could act! Goddard plays Célestine, the chambermaid, whose only path out of lower-class drudgery is to marry a rich man. How this plays out is the plot of the film.

Renoir was possibly the greatest film director of the 20th Century. However, this movie is one of his minor films. Renoir does crowd scenes well, but he can't take his eyes off Goddard, and neither can we.

This movie has an anemic IMDB rating of 6.7. It's not a great film, but I think it's better than that. We saw it on DVD, and it worked well enough. Be sure to see it if you're a Renoir fan or a Goddard fan. Otherwise, I'd suggest Buñuel's 1964 version, with Jeanne Moreau.
