A Day in the Country (1946)

One-minute read
movies

I just watched Partie de campagne. It was written and directed by Jean Renoir in 1936, but not edited and released until 1946.

It is based on the short story Une partie de campagne (1881) by Guy de Maupassant.

Henri, Rodolphe, Henriette, and Juliette
Georges Saint-Saens (Georges D'Arnoux), Jacques Borel (Jacques B. Brunius), Sylvia Bataille, Jeanne Marken (Jane Marken)

Jean Renoir never completed the film, but Marguerite Renoir (who also plays the waitress) and her sister Marinette Cadix edited the film ten years later. (Hm, what was happening in France between 1936 and 1946?)
