Arlette and Love

Arlette and Love (French: Arlette et l'amour) is a 1943 French romantic comedy film directed by Robert Vernay and starring André Luguet, Josette Day and André Alerme.

It was filmed at the Marseille Studios while location shooting took place around Antibes and Aix-en-Provence.

Arlette meets and marries a man posing as a count, who robs her and absconds on her wedding night.

Her mother then tracks down the real aristocrat whose name was stolen and insists that he is legally married to her daughter.

The sermon long prepared by the priest for the future marriage of the real count, and of which he believes he has been cheated when he learns of the fake marriage, was included by Norbert Calmels, the abbot general of the Premonstratensians and a personal friend of Marcel Pagnol’s, in a collection of sermons from his works.
