A film in the spotlight

Film class by Olivier Lecomte (FR)

Two mediocre songwriters try to interest a famous crooner in their songs while trying to profit from his penchant for women. Attacked by the Church and condemned by the Legion of Decency, this was one of the director’s most virulent attacks against hypocrisy and puritanism. Olivier Lecomte tells us all about this film directed by Billy Wilder.
