Synopsis
Hang-dog expressive Daniel Gélin is perfectly cast in the world-weary central role, a WW II survivor who heads to Hamburg for a bender with two of his French buddies, clutching a 1943 photo of a pretty German girl who was kind to him. He bears her tiny white brooch as a souvenir.He meets her accidentally in her post-war guise of a mud-wrestler, performing nightly at a German restaurant where patrons wear huge bibs/tarpaulins to protect them from the spray during the show's antics. Gélin, like a bridesmaid, is the "lucky guy" thrown a sponge to wipe the mud off her bikini-clad body post-match, but is unrealistically disheartened that she doesn't remember him after a decade has passed (and who knows how many traumas & travails she has experienced in the interim).
