Mitsou and Music-Hall Sidelights

4/5 ( ratings)

The French subtitle of Mitsou, Colette's charming story about the love affair between a pretty, but common, young music-hall actress and an officer in the First World War, was "How Girls Learn." It is, in fact, the account of a girl's romantic education and of her determination to better herself in order to win and keep the affection of her lover, a man of taste and culture. The theater also provides the backdrop for the more frankly autobiographical Music-Hall Sidelights, a sequence of short sketches of Colette's life on tour with her manager, Georges Wague. The subject is again a woman's education, but this time it is the exacting crafts of writer and theatrical performer that are being learned.
