Carnival in Flanders

Following technical dazzle from director Jacques Feyder et al, capturing preparations for the big event in a town in Flanders, 1616, we meet the resourceful leading lady, Francois Rosay as the wife of the Burogmeister (Mayor) and her dreamy daughter (Micheline Cheirel), in Carnival In Flanders, 1935.

Amid carnival preparations, the pompous councilmen of a Flemish town panic when a representative of one of their Spanish rulers arrives, their leader the Burgomeister (Andre Alerme) in turn being dominated by his wife (Francoise Rosay), in Jacques Feyder's Carnival In Flanders, 1935.

The men in the Flemish town having decided to flee or hide, upon learning that one of their ruling Spanish dukes is coming to town, the mayor's wife (Francoise Rosay) rallies the women to a different strategy, in Jacques Feyder's Carnival In Flanders, 1935.

Siska (Micheline Cheirel), daughter of the Burgomeister (Andre Alerme) cajoles her preferred suitor Breughel (Bernard Lancret, who does not represent any particular member of the Flemish family of painters) to make his proposal, not knowing she's just been promised to the butcher (Alfred Adam), in Carnival In Flanders, 1935.
