"Faisons un reve" is an adaptation of one the first, oldest pieces by Sacha Guitry and probably one of this most witty, poetical and charming works. Not more than three caracters: the husband, the wife, her lover. And a "divertissement" was born out of this simple threesome: within four walls something happens, the lover becomes more and more daring and the wife, dazzled, falls in love with him.The dialogues of "Let's have a dream" are exquisite.

This French musical comedy was based on the stage play Mademoiselle Mozart, written by Yvan Noe, who also co-directed the screen version. Danielle Darrieux plays Denise, the owner of a music shop that is facing closure. Wealthy young Maxime (Pierre Mingand) falls in love with Denise but knows full well that she despises rich folks and would refuse to accept his charity. Thus, Maxime arranges to secretly buy the store then takes a job with the establishment as a humble sheet-music salesman.
