The Story:
In the delightful 1946 French comedy directed by André Berthomieu, simple Norman farmer Léon Ménard (Bourvil) reconnects with cousin Nicole (Suzy Carrier) and visits the lavish estate of uncle Henri (Albert Duvaleix), where rustic manners draw scorn from pretentious high-society guests.
There his keen wits expose gold-digging singer Gaby (Mona Goya) scheming to wed Henri for wealth and broke Count of Bellemont (Jacques Louvigny) pushing son Didier (Bernard Lancret) into a dowry marriage with Nicole.
With clever country charm unmasking villains and true love prevailing, this vintage gem teases joyous double weddings as Léon triumphs with sweetheart Rosine (Jacqueline Beyrot) in a heartwarming celebration of wit over snobbery.
