Film by Jacqueline Audry from the early 1950s, which is strange on several points, not that it is that enjoyable.
Only women appear in it and it is also a film that very discreetly - and leaving many doubts in the viewers about this - that touches on being a lesbian.
Beautiful Edwige Feuillère is the self-confident headmistress who elicits love, or is it not rather admiration, from a number of students, but is inwardly unsure of her feelings. She is also very adept at quoting eloquent and significant texts from top French authors and these passages certainly require knowledge of the subject matter, including the allusions that go with it.
Thus, all in all, a not so enjoyable film. However, Audry is known for being an often misunderstood director...
