Au Bonheur des Dames (1943)
Die Kämpfe eines Kleinunternehmers kommen in diesem Film von Regisseur André Cayatte ans Licht. Der Besitzer eines Stoffladens, M. Baudu, sieht sich harter Konkurrenz gegenüber, als ein Kaufhaus auf der anderen Straßenseite einzieht, das erste seiner Art im Paris der 1860er Jahre. Zusätzlich zu dem Stress, der mit dem konkurrierenden Einzelhändler verbunden ist, ziehen Baudus Nichte und zwei Neffen zu ihm, nachdem sie kürzlich verwaist waren. Die Nichte, Denise Baudu, sieht die Schrift an der Wand für das Geschäft ihres Onkels, also nimmt sie einen Job als Verkäuferin bei seinem Konkurrenten an und trotz ihres Erfolgs kommt die Entscheidung bei der Familie nicht gut an.
