The Marquise

In an era of lavish fashion and aristocratic traditions, the period comedy "Noel Coward's French Comedy" masterfully captures the essence of 18th-century France in 1736. The film delves into the complexities of two affluent families celebrating their children's engagement while hiding their true feelings. At the heart of it all is Adrienne, Compte's daughter who yearns for her father's impoverished secretary instead of her fiancé. Meanwhile, Miguel, the Duke's son, struggles with his own feelings as he falls for a Parisian dancer rather than his intended bride. As the tension builds and emotions run high, an unforeseen visitor disrupts their lives and forces them to confront their true desires amidst the glittering facade of high society.
