 Pushkin Press: Louise de Vilmorin: Madame de
It is a story of jewellery, of love, of denial, of society that has the simplicity of a fairy tale and the elegance of an eighteenth century roman-a-clef.
LOUISE DE VILMORIN was a novelist and poet and the most extraordinary of women.
Married to a Hungarian count, her lovers included Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Orson Welles and Andre Malraux.

 TIME.com: Mixed Fiction -- Oct. 11, 1954 -- Page 1
MADAME DE, by Louise de Vilmorin, translated by Duff Cooper (54 pp.; Messner; $2.50), is a literary visit from the frail, salon-bred French writer whose fans think that she may succeed to Colette's place as first lady of French letters.
Author de Vilmorin has a wonderful flair for wacky as well as genuine elegance, and writes with a kind of passionate superficiality rarely attempted since the courtly novel died with the French court.
Madame De, already known to some U.S. moviegoers in an excellent screen version (TIME, July 26), is a high-society triangle in which a pair of diamond earrings wanders from husband to wife to jeweler to mistress to lover to wife and back to husband, evoking tinkles of high comedy and muted tragedy on the way.

 Madame de... Synopsis - Moviefone
is a predictable romantic roundelay, based on a popular novel by Louise de Vilmorin.
He offers her a token of his esteem: the selfsame earrings, which he won from Di Leo at the gambling tables...and so it goes, until Darrieux's initial harmless deception ends in tragedy.
It is not so much the story that matters as what is done with the story by master director Max Ophuls, he of the luxuriously liquid camera technique and complex tracking shots.

It is hard to blame Ophüls for such unrelenting fixation on his subjects when they prove as enthralling in their hedonistic conflicts as do the characters of The Earrings of Madame de...
Fortuitously, the jewels pass through a whole series of hands only to wind back up back in the Countess' possession—though by the time she re-inherits the earrings, the identity of the giver and the stakes of her accepting them have changed drastically.

The camera glides along as she examines furs, a necklace, a cross, and finally a pair of diamond earrings she received as a wedding present from her husband, General Andre de...
When she pretends that the earrings have been stolen, the general begins a search, eventually recovering them discreetly from the jeweler to whom his wife sold them.
The film's lush visual style is a perfect, ironic backdrop for the superficialities of the society explored, particularly in the famous ballroom sequence where the Countess and the Baron first become aware of their ill-fated love.
