Six petites filles en blanc (1943) Directed by Yvan Noé
Drama
Film Synopsis
Six boarders each fall madly in love with an important industrialist
whom they meet on a train. The one who is most affected is
Simone, on account of her overactive imagination. He does his
best to discourage her and assures her that she will regret her amour
fou. All's well that ends well, since Simone marries a man of her
own age and the industrialist returns to his factory, quietly mourning
the fact that, at fifty, his youth is way behind him.
