Rose and she bond, and Marie is jealous of all attentions paid Rose, especially those of Dr. Libois, the school's physician.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Children of Montmartre has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.2/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1933. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
