featuring rare coming of age films from around the world.
SYNOPSIS: Set in mid 1800's France, A Good Little Devil is
the story of Charles, a mischievous 10-year-old orphan boy living with his
wealthy older cousin, Léontine MacMiche. Madame MacMiche is a bitter old woman
who hates children and is very quick to spank! Not entirely fond of having a red
bottom all the time, Charles, with the help of the family maidservant, Betty,
thinks of some pretty ingenious and clever ways of eluding Léontine. But fed up
with his trouble making, Madame MacMiche sends Charles to an orphanage not too
far from the French coast and threatens to take his $50,000 inheritance away if
he doesn't shape up.
Once confined to the orphanage, the castigation
continues with almost daily discipline sessions. But what do you get when you
put a devilish 10-year-old with a large group of frolicsome boys? Mayhem and
chaos for not only the Headmaster of the orphanage, but for the entire town! Can
Charles inject a little fun in an otherwise dull and dreary orphanage? He can as
A Good Little Devil!
EDITORIAL REVIEW:
A cute little comedy that was considered a children's movie in
France, and quite enjoyable by everyone! This film was originally made
for French television in the early 80's. We have recently added
English subtitles and a new DVD interactive menu. You may recognize some of
the scenes from the popular "A
Century of Discipline" set. There certainly is plenty of spanking
and being a former children's novel and TV show in France, one would
think this film could be a "teaching" tool or a warning for naughty children to
behave!
