The Earrings of Madame de…

The Earrings of Madame de… represents Ophuls at his opulent best, filled with crane shots, intricately choreographed camera movements, and wonderfully decorative interiors.

In the film, a shallow countess sells her husband's wedding gift to her in order to settle her debts. The husband learns of her scheme and buys them back to give to his mistress, setting off a chain of emotionally charged transactions that accompany the earrings. (105 mins., 35mm)
