Madame et ses peaux-rouges (1948) - film review
Serge T. de Laroche
Comedy

Summary
In France just after WW2, a burned out song writer (Pierre Dudan)
escapes reality by dreaming a story with a beautiful actress (Arletty)
as a lady who takes children separated from their parents because of
the war to a castle in a small village. He then imagines himself as a
salesman fortuitously joining a travelling theatre group to impersonate
Buffalo Bill in a drama. He steals money, escapes the police
while in his costume and meets the children playing the Mohicans.
