Le Beau Voyage (The Beautiful Trip) is usually not listed among the credits of its star, French film favorite Renee Saint Cyr. This may be because the film was neither a critical nor a financial success when it first came out in 1947. For the record, the plot concerns a shipboard romance between a young woman (Saint Cyr) and a renowned pianist (Andre Valmy). In any other circumstance, the girl would go off in the end with the pianist, but she has promised herself to a kindly ex-convict (Pierre Richard Willm) who'd earlier come to her rescue at a crucial juncture in her life. And so it goes for nearly two hours.
