Lucrèce (1943)
Film Synopsis
Lucrèce, a famous theatre actress, ends her love affair with her partner Rudi Daré to concentrate on her career. François Lescot, a student at the Barbazanges Institute, is so found of her that he skips his lessons to see her on stage. He even conceals pictures of Lucrèce in his dictionary. When three other students find these pictures they decide to have some fun at François' expense. To avoid embarrassment, François insists that Lucrèce is his mother. The students are not taken in by this lie and decide to pay a call on Lucrèce. They are surprised when the actress reveals she intends seeing François on the following Sunday. Excited to meet his favourite actress, François tells Lucrèce how much he admires her and explains why he had to lie about her being his mother. When news spreads that Lucrèce is François' mother, the actress has no option but to play along...© James Travers
