[Elena and Her Men;
Paris Does Strange Things]
Rather light sex comedy confection with a typically enchanting performance from Ingrid Bergman. She conveys warm hearted femininity and tolerant boredom with her many suitors with equal aplomb. (They’re either rich but old or young but penniless.)
However, the film does not add up to much in its cheery, disposable way as it shows the irrepressible human sexual urge in most of its more obvious manifestations. Taking on elements of French farce, this is good, undemanding fun that should leave you with a smile on your face.
Basically a movie about the choices of men a beautiful woman has to consider prior to marrying one of them, the plotting, characterization and the themes are thin to non existent. The movie lacks the political dimension that would have made it truly memorable.
