Let's put it straight :unlike "Les Mystères De Paris" which spawned a lot of movies ,series and made for TV films, "Mathilde ,Mémoires D 'Une Jeune Femme" is impossible to read for the contemporary audience :not only because it was not re-issued when this telefilm was aired,but because the style is frightfully ponderous and there's no characters who can compare favorably with those of "Les mystères";besides the plot is so complicated that the unfortunate reader gets lost in a muddled affair.
We can be thankful to the screenwriters for delivering a solid screenplay ,considering the limitations they were working under ;besides ,director Georges Lacombe had a lot of good movies ("LE DERNIER DES SIX" "LA NUIT EST MON ROYAUME " " LE PAYS SANS ETOILES " ) under his belt when he began to work for TV in the sixties.With a strong cast (Alice Sapricht , Alice Tissot, Genevieve Brunet ,André Oumansky) ,Lacombe pulled it off this preposterous task .It works from start to finish.
