The Lover of Borneo (French: L'amant de Bornéo) is a 1942 French comedy film directed by Jean-Pierre Feydeau and René Le Hénaff and starring Arletty, Jean Tissier and André Alerme.[1] [2] The film was based on a 1941 stage play of the same title by Roger Ferdinand and José Germain. It was shot at the Cité Elgé Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jacques Colombier.
Lucien Mazerand, a bookseller from the provinces, arrives in Paris to spend a few days. On his visit he becomes enthralled by the music hall singer Stella Losange, and to impress he pretends to be an adventurer who has spent years in the Tropics. Although he has a rival in chocolatier Arthur Serval, Stella is soon planning to leave with Lucien for Borneo.
