Details.
Wiki.
Miquette is a 1940 French comedy film directed by Jean Boyer and starring Lilian Harvey, Lucien Baroux and André Lefaur. It was one of two films made in France by the Anglo-German star Harvey, after emigrating from Nazi Germany. It was her final film appearance, although she continued to act on stage.
The film is based on the play Miquette et sa mère by Robert de Flers and Gaston Arman de Caillavet, which was later adapted into the 1950 film Miquette.
