Les Parents Terribles - Les Parents Terribles - Blu-ray

Semi-invalid and suffocating mother Yvonne (Yvonne de Bray) was distraught that her young son Michel (Jean Marais) was looking to slip the apron strings and propose to the hardly-good-enough Madeleine (Josette Day). She'd feel much worse, certainly, if she had any inkling that her boy's love happened to be the mistress of her husband Georges (Marcel Andr). Jean Cocteau's striking and skillful screen adaptation of his stage success also stars Gabrielle Dorziat. 105 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
