Cherished by her concierge

About This Movie

So, this 1951 comedy, "Cherished by her concierge," is quite a quirky little piece. The premise revolves around Eugène, this rather simple fellow working at Radio-Europe, and his interactions with Madame Motte, the building's caretaker who's got a bit of a crush on him. The humor is light and whimsical, driven by the absurdity of Eugène’s friends spreading the news of his imaginary fortune. It touches on themes of love, aspiration, and a fair bit of social satire, all wrapped in a comedic tone that feels very much of its time. The performances, especially from the leads, are earnest but carry that charmingly dated vibe that makes it a delightful watch for collectors who appreciate vintage cinema's peculiarities.

This film's scarcity comes from its limited release and the obscurity of its director, which makes it a curious piece for collectors. Various formats have trickled out over the years, but finding a clean copy can be a bit of a challenge. It holds a niche interest for those who appreciate mid-century comedies or want to dig deeper into lesser-known works from that era.
