L’Impossible Monsieur Bébé (Howard Hawks, 1938)
Still from the film.

Palaeontologist David Huxley must make a good impression on society matron Mrs. Random, who is considering donating one million dollars to his museum. On the day before his wedding, Huxley meets Mrs. Random’s high-spirited young niece, Susan Vance, a madcap adventuress who immediately falls for the straitlaced scientist.

First Ricardo Díez Muiño will give a brief presentation and after the screening there will be a question and answer session.

(Version: English, Subtitles: French, Presentation: French)
