Beloved French comic Fernadel displays his flair for the dramatic in this somber drama. Quantin (Fernadel) is a mild-mannered husband whose wife Isabelle (
Lilli Palmer) constantly bothers him for not having enough money to spend on their daughters. When the eldest daughter is unable to come home for her birthday, Quantin and a young teacher go to the city to bring her home for the celebration. It is there he discovers that his beloved daughter has become a prostitute. His daughter is never shown on camera as the father and the teacher who loves her painfully discover her sordid secret. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
