Help my mom identify a 1960s film based on a Guy de Maupassant short story.
Mom is trying desperately to recall the title of a film based on "The Necklace", a Guy de Mautpassant short story. Mom swears up and down that the female lead is Ingrid Bergman, but a look at her film listing on IMDB reveals nothing that fits the bill.
A synopsis of the film, to the best of Mom's recollection:
The protagonist and her husband are invited to an extravagant gala, but the lady feels that she would only embarrass herself without some appropriate jewelry. She accepts an offer from a wealthy friend to borrow a beautiful necklace to wear to the event. The woman loses the necklace and then struggles to replace it, only to find that the necklace was a cheap fake and that all of her labors were for naught.
Has this run any bells, Mefites?
