Retrospective

Bel Ami – Der Frauenheld von Paris

FromLouis Daquin

WithJohannes Heesters, Marianne Schönauer, Christl Mardayn, Gretl Schörg, Maria Emo

Year1955

Duration101min.

LanguageGerman

The masculine charm offensive of Forst's pre-war film version of the Maupassant classic is replaced by a class warrior gesture: here, too, a man returns to Paris after years abroad and, thanks to his career-conscious demeanour, climbs the social ladder - only to become a pawn in the hands of the powerful. The contemporary references are unmistakable. A French version is also being produced in parallel.
(Florian Widegger)
