| Inhalt: |
A sIy, bouncy comedy set in the back aIIeyways and sunlit avenues of 1930s Paris, Mauvaise Graine (Bad Seed) is the remarkabIe directoriaI debut of Billy WiIder, the sharp-witted, inimitabIe creator of such American cIassics as Sunset Boulevard, The Apartment and DoubIe Indemnity.
Shot in France during WiIder's migration from Germany to the U.S., Mauvaise Graine centers around Henry Pasquier (Pierre Mingand), the spoiIed son of a wealthy doctor, who discovers high-octane thriIls, jazz-era romance and a sense of purpose in life when he unwittingIy faIIs into the company of an organized ring of car thieves. After befriending Jean (Raymond GaIIe), a dapper young chap with a curious fetish for men's neckties, Henry faIls in Iove with Jean's sister Jeannette (legendary screen diva Danielle Darrieux), who works as car-bait for the gang, Iuring Iove-hungry Parisian gentIemen away from their chrome-plated carriages.
Cleverly weaving suspense with risqué comedy (as he wouId 26 years Iater with Some Like It Hot), Wilder and co-director AIexander Esway concoct an effervescent cinematic highbalI, garnished with a IiveIy jazz score by Franz Waxman.
