So, Jeunes filles à marier is an interesting little comedy from '35 that revolves around the dynamics of wealth and relationships. You've got this well-off character, Simone, who steps in for her friend Yahne, all for the sake of impressing her uncle who's come over from America. It’s got a light and breezy tone, and the pacing flows nicely, which fits the charm of the era. The performances feel a bit theatrical, but that adds to its quaint appeal. What stands out to me is the way it captures that pre-war societal atmosphere, showcasing the playful yet serious undertones of marriage and expectations. Overall, it's a fascinating snapshot of its time, even if the direction is a bit obscure.
Jeunes filles à marier has had a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, which makes finding a good print a bit of a treasure hunt. As for formats, it's often available on DVD, but earlier VHS editions are rarer and can be quite sought after. Given its comedic content and the era in which it was made, it garners interest not just for its entertainment value but also as a cultural artifact reflecting pre-war French society.
