It was released in a shortened version in the USA as ''Man About Town'' (see below). The film marked Clair's return to working in France after twelve years abroad in Britain and the USA. ==Plot== The setting is Paris in the early 1900s ("1906, perhaps"〔René Clair. ''Four Screenplays''; translated from the French by Piergiuseppe Bozzetti. (New York: Orion Press, 1970). p.8.〕) and much of the action takes place in a silent film studio. Émile, a director, advises his shy young employee Jacques to adopt his own carefree attitude towards women ("one lost, ten found"). Émile takes under his wing Madeleine, the daughter of his old friend Célestin, when she arrives from the country; he offers her a place to stay and a job at his studio, and he starts to fall in love with her. When Jacques returns from military service, he and Madeleine are drawn to each other but they feel guilty about betraying the fatherly Émile. Émile finally realises the truth and decides that he must not stand in the young couple's way. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Man About Town (1947 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
