                No room for the bride

                During the time of the Crusades, the custom was brought from the East first to Spain , then to France , then to England in the early 1800's. By then, many enchanting legends had spread throughout the continent of maidens entwining fresh orange blossoms into a bridal wreath for their hair.(Victoriana)

                Why this title? Because Raymond and Madeleine have been married for one year and papa does not know ; the husband breaks like a little boy when he is face to face with his formidable father ,an adamant judge : one of his ruthless pleas shows no pity for those who "live in sin" .He's proud of his fifty death sentences ,not exactly a nice guy .

                When daddy comes to his marital home, Raymond is determined to tell him the truth ,the whole truth and nothing but the truth ; but every time he's about to do so ,something happens and he's so gauche ,so shy and so fearful that he cannot make up his mind to confess his "fault" to big daddy, sulkier than ever. So he makes his unfortunate (and angry) wife out to be his secretary-typist ; as she can't sleep in her home , he sends her to a hotel , where misundertandings and quiproquos await...

                Like many directors coming from the silent age , Henri Roussel directed movies based on plays :but when the plays were entertaining,and the actors were irresistible (René Lefèvre was one of the rare comic actors who did not have to overplay to win his audience over ) ,a splendid time is guaranteed for all!
