The Storm Within
1948, French. Directed by Jean Cocteau.
Young Michel is in love with the attractive Madeleine, so he decides to tell his parents of his intention to marry her.

Yvonne, Michel's overbearing mother, concocts an elaborate scheme to drive Madeleine away, thus keeping uncomfortable household truths from being exposed.
