Box of Dreams (French: La boîte aux rêves) is a 1945 French comedy drama film directed by Yves Allégret and Jean Choux and starring Viviane Romance, Henri Guisol and Frank Villard. Simone Signoret had a minor role in the film; she would later marry Allégret and collaborate with him on several films that contributed to her rise to stardom.[1]
Filming originally began in 1943 during the Italian occupation of France but the film was not released until the end of the Second World War. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Auguste Capelier and Georges Wakhévitch. It was shot at the Cimex-controlled Saint-Laurent-du-Var Studios on the outskirts of Nice. The film had 2,792 admissions in France.[2]
