About this release
Au 19e siècle, en plein carnaval, Madeleine découvre l’amour avec un jeune noble italien, le comte Mario de Miranda. Entre deux chansons, ils se perdent de vue, se retrouvent et partent pour Monte-Carlo. Cet amour soudain et léger sera-t-il contrarié par l’autorité paternelle ? Une comédie typique des années 1940, enchantée par les airs de Francis Lopez (La belle de Cadix) qu’interprète une grande voix de l’opérette, Georges Guétary.

The scene is set during the Second Empire. Captain Bitterlin watches jealously over his lovely daughter Madeleine but he cannot prevent nature from demanding its rights and Madeleine soon finds herself a suitor in the person of Mario, a dashing young songwriter. Bitterlin, who wishes his daughter to "evade the grip" of the young man, takes her away to Monte Carlo. There, the captain does what he had sworn he would never do, he gambles in a casino. And even more upsetting: Mario might well be hereabouts...
