JULIETTA is a romantic comedy with the whimsical energy of a hummingbird. Dany Robin stars as the eponymous demoiselle, a flighty, impulsive pixie in white gloves who is engaged to an older prince, but already fantasizes about being his widow. On a train trip back to Paris she misses her train while returning a cigarette case to Andre (Jean Marais), a lawyer with a sprawling manor house in the country. Debacles pile up until Julietta decides she'd rather stay in the decaying mansion than get married at all, even if it means hiding in the attic from Andre's own fiancée, the high-strung and spoiled Rosie (Jeanne Moreau, in her fourth year of making movies at age 25).
