Mam'zelle Nitouche Synopsis
Célestin, the organist in a convent, has written and composed a light operetta under the name Floridor. One day, the Mother Superior asks him to chaperone one of the boarders, Denise de Flavigny, who is returning home to get married. Now, Denise, for all her goody-goody looks, soon proves as saucy as can be. Things get even more complicated when Célestin starts courting Corinne, the star of his operetta, to the great displeasure of a commander of dragons, the young woman's lover--the Mother Superior's brother - To say nothing of Lieutenant Fernand de Champlatreux, who happens to fall in love with Denise, his fiancée whom he's never even met yet.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"Mam'zelle Nitouche" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
