Starring: Francoise Rosay, Micheline Cheirel, Lyne Clevers

Directed by: Jacques Feyder

Jacques Feyder's tongue-in-cheek farce is set in an early seventeenth century Flemish town facing an invasion by the Spanish army. Forseeing carnage and rape, the mayor plays dead in the hope that the fearsome occupiers will respect the townspeople's mourning and bypass the town. However, his rather more courageous and sophisticated wife takes control of the situation and organises the townswomen to greet the invaders and preserves the peace with their womanly ways.
