Le Bonheur Series: Charles Boyer and The Art of Seduction [May 23 – 27] Director: Marcel L’Herbier, Country: France, Release: 1934, Runtime: 98 “Exquisitely bonkers! A completely sober yet totally off-the-wall tour de force for both Boyer and Morlay… Has a gorgeous, alternately sooty and glamorous look.” - Bruce Bennett, The New York Sun A prominent member of the French 1920s avant-garde, Marcel L’Herbier co-founded La Cinémathèque Francaise in 1936. Many of his films were made for Gaumont, beginning with Rose-France in 1918 and L’Homme du large in 1920, with a 21-year-old Charles Boyer making his screen debut. The duo teamed up again fourteen years later for the political romance drama Le Bonheur, based on a play by prolific 1930s playwright Henri Bernstein. Boyer stars as a fervent anarchist who vows to kill anyone who represents the establishment. As a result, he ends up shooting and wounding a music hall singer (Gaby Morlay) during a performance. Despite this mishap, the two become romantically involved. During his attempted murder trial he refuses Morlay’s testimony, preferring to be a martyr to his cause. In this offbeat romance, events work out in an unexpected fashion. Co-starring Michel Simon. Special thanks to the French Cultural Services.
