Description:

In Jean Renoir's delightful romantic comedy Elena and Her Men, the captivating Ingrid Bergman plays a Polish princess named Elena, who finds herself amidst the military drills and Quatorze Juillet carnivals of late 19th-century France. Despite her aristocratic status, she is struggling financially, but this doesn't hinder her from drawing the attention of various men from different social standings. As her beauty bewitches a renowned general, Elena finds herself entwined in a web of romantic manipulations and political intrigues, where the sentiments of several suitors - as well as the fate of France - are influenced by her charms. With a blend of humor and romance, this film portrays a tale that navigates through love's unpredictable whims and the complexities of power dynamics.
