A CLASSIC Cinderella checking account, Madame is a joyful romp through the delights of upper class Paris and the immigrant underclass that serves them.

She superstitiously dragoons Maria into pretending to be an invited guest and a friend of Annes. Despite beast add happening strict instructions by the uppity Anne to not glamor any attention to herself, Marias natural effervescence cant be subdued and she catches the eye of David, a British artbroker (Michael Smiley).
Maria falls for David and hes the entire enchanted by her, even though he thinks shes a Spanish princess. He woos her and shes swept happening by the romance.
Her attempts to perfect the cd are futile and Maria finds herself caught taking place in a lie shes totally uncomfortable following. Anne is mortified but Bob needs David to sell his pretentious Caravaggio to lid mounting debts.
Marias obvious happiness leads Anne to ask her own moving picture choices but any fleeting moments of self-vigilance doesnt necessarily spur fiddle following.
