La vie de plaisir

I admire "Marie-Martine" directed by Albert Valentin. I had to see ""la Vie de Plaisir", dark vitriolic portrait of aristocraty (with a double point of view during a trial, the aristocratic arranged truth and the real truth). In a raced and elegant society, Aimé Clariond and Maurice Escande matches on the dot that toxic ugliness while Albert Préjean is the sincerity personified. And Noël Roquevert as Préjean's lawyer telling the truth plays also frankly, as Yves Deniaud as Préjean's servant. Banned after the war, "la Vie de Plaisir" is a great movie and now deserves recognition by dvd release, like so many fine french forgotten movies like "le Secret de Madame Clapain", "Monsieur des Lourdines" and "la Grande Meute" (with again Aimé Clariond).
