L’Amour d’une femme (1954) - film review

Marie Prieur is a 28-year-old, recently qualified doctor who is about to take up her first post at Oudessant, a small island off the coast of Brittany.  She receives a lukewarm welcome from the locals; in fact, the only person who seems pleased to see her is the  old schoolteacher, Mademoiselle Leblanc.  Marie’s first patient is a young girl named Aline.  Without the approval of Aline’s parents, Marie manages to cure her of her illness.  This outcome brings Marie to the attention of André Lorenzi, a young engineer, and a passionate romance ensues, to the detriment of Marie’s work.  As the young doctor becomes increasingly absentminded and careless in her work, her friend Mademoiselle Leblanc makes an effort to bring her back to reality...
