The Marriage of Figaro (1961)
Directed by Marcel Bluwal
Overview
Comedy in five acts by Beaumarchais, filmed by Marcel Bluwal in studio and on location. The cast, in accordance with Marcel Bluwal’s wishes, is in keeping with the age and character of the characters, to give it rhythm. At once “a comic baroque play, a bourgeois drama, a chansonnier’s number, a social satire, a farce and a very pretty love story” according to Marcel Bluwal, it can also be summed up, according to Beaumarchais, as “the most bantering of intrigues”.
