Arlette and Love (French: Arlette et l'amour) is a 1943 French romantic comedy film directed by Robert Vernay and starring André Luguet, Josette Day and André Alerme.[1] It is based on the play Atout Coeur! by Félix Gandéra, adapted for the screen by Marcel Pagnol. It was filmed at the Marseille Studios while location shooting took place around Antibes and Aix-en-Provence.[2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Giordani.

The sermon long prepared by the priest for the future marriage of the real count, and of which he believes he has been cheated when he learns of the fake marriage, was included by Norbert Calmels, the abbot general of the Premonstratensians and a personal friend of Marcel Pagnol’s, in a collection of sermons from his works.[3]
