Édouard et Caroline
1951 Comedy / Romance
Review
Although pretty lightweight compared with some of Jacques Becker’s other films (particularly
Casque d’Or which immidately
followed it), Édouard et Caroline is a pleasing comedy of manners which
follows the ups and downs of a newly married couple. As in his earlier, similar,
film, Antoine et Antoinette
, Becker observes married life with tenderness and a canny perceptiveness.
