Overview

Susana is an unappreciated, naive and somewhat clumsy orphan who has lived since she was a child at doña Engracia's house, because her mother died a few days after she was born. In this house, which also houses three nephews of doña Engracia without a penny to one's name, Susana is the maid of all. Economic necessities lead Engracia to rent a room. Felipe, a handsome man with a bad reputation, will reply to the ad.

Peter Nichols adapted his own hit play to the screen, based on his experiences in hospitals. A riotous black comedy that's as timely today as ever, it contrasts the appalling conditions in a overcrowded London hospital with a soap opera playing on the televisions there. In an ingenious touch, the same actors appear in the "real" story as well as the "TV" one, thus blurring the distinctions even further. Jack Gould directs such outstanding British actors as Lynn Redgrave, Colin Blakely, Eleanor Bron, Jim Dale, Donald Sinden, Mervyn Johns, and, in only his second film, Bob Hoskins. The renowned Carl Davis composed the score.

Would-Be Gentleman

Dec 28, 1968

Le Bourgeois gentilhomme satirizes attempts at social climbing and the bourgeois personality, poking fun both at the vulgar, pretentious middle-class and the vain, snobbish aristocracy. The title is meant as an oxymoron: in Molière's France, a "gentleman" was by definition nobly born, and thus there could be no such thing as a bourgeois gentleman.
