Earrings of Madame De

A captivating, black-and-white 1953 farce about a well-traveled pair of valuable diamond earrings that ironically and surprisingly finds their way back to a faint-prone coquettish countess (Danielle Darrieux) in Vienna after she secretly pawned them to an untrustworthy jeweler (Jean Debucourt), who in turn sells them back to her adulterous husband (Charles Boyer) who gives them as a keepsake to his roulette-playing mistress (Lia Di Leo) as she leaves for Constantinople, where a handsome baron (Vittorio De Sica) buys the earrings and eventually gives them to his mistress.
