Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Slighter and more emotionally distant than Ophuls's masterpiece 'Letter from an Unknown Woman', but filled with a similar mood of romantic despair and desperation.

On one hand, Madame De . . . is all surface and style; on the other, it conveys real loss.
– J. Hoberman,

fresh:
Three good reasons you should see The Earrings of Madame de ... are the presence and performances of Danielle Darrieux, Charles Boyer and Vittorio De Sica. This celestial triangle has never been surpassed in grace, charm and, yes, wit and humor.

Ophuls' penultimate film.

Like its turn-of-the-century decor and costuming, it is elegant and filled with decorative but basically unnecessary little items, which give it gentility and a nostalgic mood, but nothing much more substantial.
