Although the posters are poorly made, the story structure is a bit old-fashioned, and the French are uncomfortable to speak vulgar English, the director did not want to write this touching love story into a huge story.
From the beginning to the end, it is compact and lively, integrating humor, lyricism, sentimentality, suspense, and passion, but in an orderly manner. The classic scenes are just right, such as Shelly smoking and leaving in the garden, and the heroine waking up in the middle of the night crying, the most moving It is the kind of sincere love and innocent humanity that runs through the whole film, which is concentrated in the dispute and resolution of the two people at the end of the film.
The protagonist Shelly’s aristocratic temperament, indulgence, innocent personality, and handsome appearance are really nothing to say. Once he appeared on the stage, I was fascinated by me, and he was not contrived at all. His old mother's temper is really good. She can tolerate her son's long-term sarcasm even if she is rich. Her tolerance of her son's private life reflects the tolerance of the noble children in that era. The performance of the heroine is also very good.
The voice-over at the beginning and the end of the film allows the director to maintain an objective state, with a little humor and fable.
In short, this is a rare sketch, and a comedy, because the unfortunate ending is already doomed at the beginning of the film.
