The family finds out about the impending marriages and determines to stop them. Complications ensue.
The Belgian Synopsis
Young Victor Morenne is a fisherman in a small Belgian village during World War II, and he has a talent for sculpture. When he's encouraged by a French art connoisseur to leave Belgium for Paris to develop his skills as a sculptor, he takes the man's advice, but before he leaves he tells his sweetheart, Jeanne, that he will return to her. However, while in Paris he falls for the sophisticated Countess de Vries, who is actually a German spy. Complications ensue.
"The Best People" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Belgian" offers its own unique cult appeal.
