Les Grandes Manœuvres (1955)
Une petite ville de garnison au début du 20ème siècle. Armand de La Verneest un séduisant lieutenant au régiment des Dragons, véritable Don Juan dont les succès auprès des femmes attisent la jalousie. Il prend le pari de devenir, avant le départ dans 30 jours pour les grandes manœuvres, l'amant d'une femme que le hasard lui aura désigné. Marie-Louise Rivière, une jeune divorcée, arrivée depuis peu de Paris pour ouvrir une boutique de mode, est « l'heureuse » élue qui ignore évidemment l’enjeu dont elle est l'objet. Victor Duverger, l’un des hommes les plus en vue de la bonne société, lui fait également la cour, espérant l’épouser malgré ses sœurs acariâtres qui ne veulent pas qu'elle fasse partie de la famille. Ayant appris sa réputation de coureurs de jupons, Marie-Louise est d'abord réticente aux avances du bel officier, préférant la tranquillité que lui apporterait Victor…
