Two Pennies Worth of Violets (French: Deux sous de violettes) is a 1951 French drama film directed by Jean Anouilh and starring Dany Robin, Georges Baconnet and Madeleine Barbulée.[1] It was one of two films directed by the dramatist Anouilh along with Traveling Light (1944). It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art director Léon Barsacq.
Thérèse is a young flower seller in Paris who has had a hard life with an unsympathetic family. Her encounters with men are also tragic as they prove to be either predatory or abandon her when she needs them most.
