Plot
In her last film appearance, international musical favorite Lillian Harvey plays Miquette, whose beauty and vivacity increases the clientele of her mother's tobacco shop. A Barrymoresque actor (Lucien Baroux) believes that Miquette has star potential, but he hasn't sufficient capital to finance her theatrical debut. He manages to get the money by practicing a bit of genteel blackmail on an aging marquis (Andre Lefaur) who has romantic designs on the heroine. All ends happily when Miquette finally chooses a sweetheart -- who turns out to be the marquis' virtuous nephew (Daniel Clerice). Miquette was directed by Jean Boyer, who'd previously helmed several of the French versions of Lillian Harvey's German pictures. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
