La Chance

La Chance (Luck) was based on a story by Yves Mirande, who also supervised the production. Marie Bell plays Tania, a Russian widow who can’t stay away from the gaming tables of the Riviera. A chronic gambler, Tania overextends her monthly allowance and is stone broke when she meets handsome surgeon Victor (Fernand Fabre). Convinced that Tania is interested in Victor only for his money, his best friend Gaston (Marcel Andre) tries to break up the romance. It turns out, of course, that Gaston is all wrong, and Tania is all right. And there’s several songs in the bargain.
