Les Fêtes galantes (1965) - film review

Having lost a battle against the Prince of Beaulieu, Marechal d’Allenberg returns to his castle with his few remaining followers.  As famine takes its toll, one of d’Allenberg’s men, Joli Coeur, sets off to look for food.  The latter not only finds some pork, but he also saves the honour of a beautiful girl who was being attacked by some lustful brutes.  On his return to the castle, Joli Coeur is surprised to see both the man who gave him the pork and the girl he rescued.  The girl turns out to be d’Allenberg’s daughter, Hélène.  Knowing that Joli Coeur would do everything for her, Hélène asks him to leave for a secret and dangerous mission.  He must go back behind the enemy lines to look for Frédéric, the Prince of Beaulieu’s son, and ask him to stop the war...
