The Diary of a Chambermaid (1946)
Country: US
Technical: bw 86m
Director: Jean Renoir
Cast: Paulette Goddard, Burgess Meredith, Hurd Hatfield, Francis Lederer
Synopsis:
A servant plots her climb up the social ladder by inveigling herself with her employer.
Review:
Goddard is, interestingly, more erotic than Moreau in the role, and less of an observer, but the Hatfield character is a poor relation to the shoe fetishist in Buñuel's film. Moods and issues are predictably more salient here, with less scope for interpretation.
