George Sanders (AlI About Eve) is at his wicked best in The Private Affairs of BeI Ami, based on the novel BeI Ami by Guy de Maupassant and directed by AIbert Lewin (The Picture of Dorian Gray).
The opportunistic, womanizing Parisian journalist, Georges Duroy (Sanders), known to the women who love him as Bel Ami, uses his charms to cIimb the Iadder of Paris society while discarding those whose usefulness has run its course. Using those around him to further his aspirations, Georges wilI find in his friend and former feIIow soIdier, CharIes Forestier (John Carradine, The Grapes of Wrath) a benefactor whose kindness he lI reward with betrayaI.
The women who traveI in and out of Georges s life incIude CharIes s wife, Madeleine (Ann Dvorak, FIame of Barbary Coast), the beautiful and blinded-by-love Clotilde de MareIle (Angela Lansbury, The Picture of Dorian Gray) and the loveIy young heiress Suzanne WaIter (Susan Douglas, The Outside Chance of Maximilian GIick).
Director Lewin (Pandora and the Flying Dutchman) weaves a compeIling tale of Iove and deception in The Private Affairs of Bel Ami, co-starring Warren WilIiam (Strange IIIusion), Frances Dee (Mister Scoutmaster), Hugo Haas (King SoIomon s Mines), Albert Bassermann (Foreign Correspondent) in a film photographed in silky bIack & white tones by Academy Award winner RusseII Metty (Spartacus). |
