synopsis
In this French film, Jeanne (Simone Signoret) is a poorly regarded (and treated) second wife, who serves as more of a servant to her new family than as anyone important. This movie screens both her Thurber-esque fantasies of gaining status and revenge, and her actual activities, which generally do little to improve her situation.
