Add to wishlist DetailsExisting reviews Though uncredited, the Maupassant story, Les Bijoux, was the inspiration for this poignant drama, A Romance in Minor Key. In late 19th century France, the wife of a bookkeeper is is blackmailed by her husband's boss after he discovers she is also the mistress of a famous composer. This beautifully made film has a sensitive delicacy that is unusual for Third Reich cinema. The cast – directed by the brilliant Helmut Käutner – is outstanding. Although Goebbles didn't like this film very much, Käutner went on and made to other brilliant melodramas before the end of the war. Ferdinand Marion, best known for another film we sell, Jud Suss, is, as usual, brilliant. An einem trüben Regennachmittag betritt ein Mann, mit einem Koffer in der Hand, den Laden eines Pfandleihers. Unter dem wahllos zusammengerafften Inhalt des Koffers, dessen Erlös dazu dienen soll, das Leben seiner geliebten Frau zu retten, befindet sich auch eine kostbare Perlenkette, die der Mann oft bei seiner Frau gesehen und bisher für unecht gehalten hat. Diese Kette wird zum Verräter einer verbotenen Liebe, denn sie ist das Geschenk jenes Mannes, den Madeleine wirklich liebt. Dem jungen Komponisten Michael zuliebe hat Madeleine ein Doppelleben geführt, das von einem dritten Mann, dem Dienstvorgesetzten ihres Mannes, entdeckt wurde. Der erpresst die junge Frau, und Madeleine sieht keinen Ausweg mehr ... DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH SWITCHABLE ENGLISH SUBTITLES. 94 minutes long. See film sample for audio and video quality!
