Marie des isles (1959) Fr
Director: Georges Combret Writers: Georges Combret, Robert Gaillard (novel) Stars: Belinda Lee, Alain Saury, Darío Moreno In 1635, Jacques du Parquet, the nephew of the well known explorer Belain dEsnambic, enters a tavern in Dieppe, and falls in love with the daughter of the bartender, Marie Bonnard. He knows his noble family would disaprove such a marriage; besides, he is nominated for the post of governor in Martinica. He promised never to forget Marie, but as time goes by, she will accept to marry a rich and unscrupulous man, Monsieur de SaintAndré. When her husband is appointed to serve in Martinica as General Commissioner, Marie demands to go with him. At her arrival, all sorts of trouble arrive: pirates take action against travellers and goods, rotten deals set the two officers against each other, and finally jealousy settles to make things worse.
