In French with English subtitles. This is a VHS transfer.

Cavalcade D'Amour is divided into three sections, each depicting a romance occurring within the walls of the Chateau de Champs. Legend has it that whoever marries in the Chateau is doomed to an unhappy life. This proves to be the case in 1639 and 1839, but the heroine of the 1939 segment, Corinne Luchaire, is determined to break the jinx. She's convinced that she will prove an unsuitable bride for Claude Dauphin, and he is likewise convinced that he will turn out to be an inadequate groom. But the couple's respective families will not be dissuaded, and the marriage takes place as scheduled...

Other segments star Michel Simon and Simon Simone.

... for want of a better subject line. This is a very fine film. Corinne Luchaire shines in the third (of three) segment. She only made a handful of films so this is a rare treat. The rest of the cast of excellent. Michel Simon and Claude Dauphin are in all three segments, each having a beautiful, different leading lady. The score, as stated in the credits, is by Roger Desormiere, Darius Milhaud, and Arthur Honneger. I assume that they each scored a segment but I've no verification on this. If that's the case, I wonder if they listed their names in the order that their music appeared, respectively. Either way, whoever composed the last bit of music, which closes the curtains at the end, composed one heck of a piece. I can't stop humming it, days after viewing. Though admittedly, I did rewind the last two minutes several times, just to hear the scoring again. Magnifique!
