Synopsis: | Poligni is an ex-Napoleonic officer on his uppers. His friend. Dorbeval, has a talent for making mone), while his painter chum, Olivier, is the darling of the salon. But Poligni finds himself in a pickle. Should he marry the impecunious, widowed Mme de Brienne, to whom he has long been devoted, or Dorbeval's vacuous ward, who comes with a hefty dowry? Like Noel Coward, Scribe hides a message under gift-wrapped froth. He implies that marrying for money leads only to a life of comfortable desolation. And any well-trained Marxist could find in the play a withering portrait of the Bourbon bourgeoisie who profited hugely from the new law of indemnity, allowing people to make inflated compensation claims for property lost during the revolution. | |||||
