What happens
La Comédie du bonheur ( "the comedy of happiness") is a French-Italian film directed by Marcel L'Herbier as a dual-language production. It was filmed in Rome in the early months of 1940, but after Italy joined World War II on the side of Germany, the French and Italian versions of the film were completed separately. The Italian version was released in December 1940 under the title Ecco la felicità! ("Here's happiness"). The French version was released in July 1942. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
