The Earrings of Madame de...

We've been having a new roof put on our house, which is overly loud. Ah well. I don't really care too much when the weather is so nice. I went out today to get plants for my garden - lots of different peppers, patty pans, tomatoes, herbs, lettuce, kale, and even leeks! I'm really excited, I love having fresh produce, there is nothing that compares to it.

Today's movie was The Earrings of Madame de... directed by Max Ophuls in 1953. I really liked it, it was shot really well, with so many long scenes (which are such a feat). I liked the plot as well, it was different than I thought it would be. I had some vague impression that it would be about a pair of earrings be passed from woman to woman, thus the "Madame de..." part of the title. However, it's more about how one pair of earrings kept coming back to one woman.
