Plot

In France during World War I, pretty nurse Marthe (Micheline Presle) waits for her husband, Jacques, while he fights on the front lines. The lonely Marthe begins a tempestuous affair with 17-year-old François (Gérard Philipe), with whom she had a dalliance before marrying Jacques. Jealous François struggles with the fact that Marthe is married, while she tries to prove her devotion to her young, hotheaded lover. Things become even more complex when Marthe becomes pregnant with François' baby.

Accolades

The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures named it the fifth best film of 1949.

gollark: To get free long distance calls.

gollark: The main thing I heard about with that was spoofing something involved in long distance calling.

gollark: It seems like a lot of old designs for protocols and stuff like that just completely ignored security, for some reason.

gollark: How fun. There are also apparently some botnets targeting routers.

gollark: I had one which had a telnet interface for managing it and such, which is by itself not very bad, but you could just put `ps ; sh` into the command prompt (they were clearly using `system()` or something) and get root access.
