One Stormy Night - 1943 - 6/10
AKA - O Noapte Furtunoasa

Rumanian comedy, filmed in the middle of World War II, which aroused my curiosity.
Set in the 1860’s, a jealous husband suspects his wife of infidelity.
The chief culprit seems to be a sissified dandy, who always turns away from the man’s glare.
The only one he trusts is his live-in assistant, and from the opening scene we know how very wrong he is.
Narrative moves quick and plunges into farce numerous times.
Several of my favorite sequences occur in the music hall - which, alas, were not translated.
In fact, the few subtitles available are only “fair” at best.
A cursory glance online suggests this is a classic, as there is a recent theatrical version on YouTube, as well as a TV production from the 80’s.
Comical proceedings fairly amusing, though poor subs (again, few available) are tedious.
