Ringkasan plot
Louise (Danielle Darrieux) is an aristocratic woman from Paris, married to AndrÃÆ'Â © (Charles Boyer), both an innumerable and a general of a high-ranking French army. Louise is a beautiful, but spoiled and shallow woman who has accumulated debt because of her lifestyle. She arranges to secretly sell expensive diamond-shaped diamond earrings, wedding gifts from her husband, to the original jewelry, Mr. RÃÆ' Â © my (Jean Debucourt). The relationship between Louise and AndrÃÆ'Â © fits, but they sleep in separate beds, have no children, and AndrÃÆ' Â © has a secret mistress, who recently he was tired. Louise disguised the loss of the earrings by pretending to lose them in the opera. Their search finally reached the newspaper ("Theft at the Theater") which in turn pushed RÃÆ'Â © I went to AndrÃÆ'Â © and "secretly" offered to resell it. He accepted with pleasure and, instead of confronting his wife, coldly gave earrings to his lover, Lola (Lia Di Leo), whom he happened to witness permanently to Constantinople.
However, at his destination, Lola immediately sold the earrings itself to pay off the gambling debt and was later bought by an Italian baron, Fabrizio Donati (Vittorio De Sica), who was on his way to a high diplomatic post in Paris. Through a series of meetings, Donati becomes infatuated with Louise, then dances with him until late at the dance. The absence of old AndrÃÆ' © "on maneuvers" facilitates the couple's affairs. With every passage of time, the Baron asks Louise if she has heard from her husband. The return of Andrà © asks Louise to stop seeing Donati, but during a hunting trip where all three are present, she watches Donati fall from her horse and faint. He is said to have a "weak heart," but AndrÃÆ' © sees this behavior as a pretense, and the event makes him suspicious.
Louise became discouraged and announced that she was going on a long vacation in the Italian Lake region, worrying about both her husband and her boyfriend. Donati brings a gift: a rose with earrings he's sold before. What he had put away so easily before suddenly had a real meaning to him. On himself in Italy, Louise tries to forget the Donati who arranges it with the letters, which she wrote responses, all of which she destroyed immediately. He finally meets him secretly again and confesses that he is able to amuse himself only through the possession of earrings, which he now identifies with his lover, not his marriage. Upon returning to Paris, Louise decided to continue her business. To explain the reappearance of the earrings, he now creates an intricate ruse that they have misplaced in one of his gloves all the time, making a great show of "finding" them in front of Andrà ©  ©. He knew he was lying but did not say anything.
At another official ball, AndrÃÆ'  © took the earrings from Louise, secretly took Donati, and confronted him about them, revealing their true history. He then gives them to Donati who instructs him to sell them back to the jewelry store, so he can buy them back for a third time to give again to Louise. Before leaving, Donati tells Louise that she can no longer see her and express her pain when she learns of her lies. Louise fell into a deep depression. AndrÃÆ'  © presents it with the earrings he bought and informs her that his unhappiness is his own fault and that he should give the earring to his newborn niece. Louise painstakingly agreed. The nephew was soon forced to sell the earring again to my RÃÆ' untuk © to pay off her husband's debt, and RÃÆ'  © my offer to sell it back to AndrÃÆ' © for the fourth time, but he now angrily refused. Louise went to the jewelry store itself and bought the earrings with money from the sale of her jewelry and other feathers. He told Andrà © Ã… about what he had done. In the sadness of losing his love - or maybe never had it - AndrÃÆ'  © went to the men's club where he faced Donati on the slightest pretext and challenged him to a gun duel.
Louise begged Donati not to duel; AndrÃÆ'Ã… © has been seen as a very good shot and will definitely kill him. Donati is pensive, but refuses to back off and arrives at the duel field with his seconds and AndrÃÆ'Â ©. Meanwhile, Louise went to the Church of Saint-ÃÆ'â € ° tienne-du-Mont to pray earnestly at the temple of St. GeneviÃÆ'¨ve for Donati to be spared - the same place where he was seen before praying frivolously that the jeweler would be willing to buy back his earrings. He then raced with his servant to duel like an agent informing the duelis that "the offended party," AndrÃÆ'Â ©, was allowed to shoot first. He aimed at Donati, who stood upright. As Louise rushes up the hill towards the duel, one shot is heard, but there is no second shot, implying that a duelist might be dead. He slumped on a tree as the waiter ran for help.
Finally it appears that Louise has left a candle burning at the temple, along with her precious earrings, and a card that reads that they are a gift from her.

Production notes
The couple's relationship is represented in montage ballroom dance scene where Louise and Baron fall in love. Over time, Baron asked Louise if she had heard from her husband. This sequence, with its glossy costumes and furniture, and circling camera work, is a celebrated example of the OphÃÆ'¼ls technique.
In the original treatment of OphÃÆ'¼ls for the film, every scene must be taken through a mirror on the wall and other locations. The producer rejected the idea. After his experience shooting La Ronde , OphÃÆ'¼ls is determined to stay on budget and schedule for this film and make extensive preparations during pre-production. He finally finished the movie ahead of schedule and under budget. He works closely with art director Georges Annenkov to create the right atmosphere for the movie, and has the appropriate prop design of Annenkov's earring. Prop earrings are on display at the Franco-London-Film production studio for years.
The script of the film becomes very different from the short novel de Vilmorin and OphÃÆ'¼ls states that "in addition to earrings, there are only a few novels left in the film... [only] the vanity of her life." OphÃÆ'¼ls will talk privately with Danielle Darrieux between taking the entire shooting and telling her to describe the void of her character. At first OphÃÆ'¼ls was too shy to give directions to Vittorio De Sica to honor De Sica's work as a director, but both became friends during the film's production. Darrieux, Charles Boyer and Annenkov had worked together in 1936 in the Mayerling film, which was Darrieux's first leading role.
Reception
The film received mixed reviews when it was first released, but its reputation has grown over the years. It was revived in England in 1979, where it was rediscovered as a masterpiece. Derek Malcolm called it "the highest piece of filmmaking that barely placed the wrong foot for 2 hours... incredible and lasting surgery and attention, the game of life and love itself." Lindsay Anderson criticized the film, stating "the camera is never silent, every shot has the tension of a magic trick The enigma of the hand is enchanting, but it is very disturbing... With a graceful, cunning and shimmering flow of images that aesthetically the diametric opposite of the sacred prose of Mme de Vilmorin, he has made this film the reason for the succession of rich and decorative display... In all these visuals frou-frou it is not surprising that his character is lost and the development of the drama's interior is almost completely unobserved. "FranÃÆ'§ois Truffaut writes that the film is very similar to the previous OphÃÆ'¼ls film Liebelei , which states that" the last half hour, the duel and the end, is a pure and simple remake. " Jacques Rivette praised the film, calling it "a difficult work, in the most complete sense of the word, even in his writing, in which everything aims to confuse, distracts viewers from what is important through the accumulation of secondary actions, repetition and delays, a work in which the beautiful strives to hide the pathetic. "
Molly Haskell calls this film a masterpiece with heretical sects growing every year. Haskell has confirmed that the film is usually not as well respected as other films that are more male-oriented because it is a female-oriented film. Richard Roud states that OphÃÆ'¼ls makes a movie about "women, more particularly, women who are in love, most often, women who are unhappy in love, or who love bring misfortune from one kind or another."
Awards
In 1954, Georges Annenkov and Rosine Delamare were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design (black and white) but lost to Edith Head for Sabrina .
