{"product_id":"mauvaise-graine-mod-dvd-movie","title":"Mauvaise Graine (MOD) (DVD Movie)","description":"A sly, bouncy comedy set in the back alleyways and sunlit avenues of 1930s Paris, Mauvaise Graine (Bad Seed) is the remarkable directorial debut of Billy Wilder, the sharp-witted, inimitable creator of such American classics as Sunset Boulevard, The Apartment and Double Indemnity . Shot in France during Wilder's migration from Germany to the U.S., Mauvaise Graine centers around Henry Pasquier (Pierre Mingand), the spoiled son of a wealthy doctor, who discovers high-octane thrills, jazz-era romance and a sense of purpose in life when he unwittingly falls into the company of an organized ring of car thieves. After befriending Jean (Raymond Galle), a dapper young chap with a curious fetish for men's neckties, Henry falls in love with Jean's sister Jeannette (legendary screen diva Danielle Darrieux), who works as car-bait for the gang, luring love-hungry Parisian gentlemen away from their chrome-plated carriages. Cleverly weaving suspense with risque comedy (as he would 26 years later with Some Like It Hot ), Wilder and co-director Alexander Esway concoct an effervescent cinematic highball, garnished with a lively jazz score by Franz Waxman. SPECIAL FEATURES: La Joie de Vivre (The Joy of Living) -- A delightful 9-minute animated fairy tale made in France (1934) by Hector Hoppin and Anthony Gross. Two female dancers are pursued by a mysterious man on a bicycle as they move through graphically complex settings ranging from webs of industrial wires and train tracks to country fields of flowers. It's an exceptional film and an animation landmark!","brand":"Flicker Alley and the Blackhawk Films Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53479153991980,"sku":"818522015231","price":26.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/6327\/4284\/files\/Mauvaise-Graine-MOD-DVD-Movie.jpg?v=1785385629","url":"https:\/\/www.margaritasvideostore.com\/products\/mauvaise-graine-mod-dvd-movie","provider":"Margarita's Video Store LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
