Gaston is in love with Brigitte, daughter of the Baroness, who claims to have a lover. Gaston sets off for Paris, with 300,000 francs borrowed from the Baroness, to find his rival. He is robbed and forced to work in cabarets, where his father, his fiancée and the Baroness, not to mention the Curé, come looking for him. All ends well.
Acting
De Funès steals every frame he's in, obviously.
Production
1950s Paris cabaret sets are pure visual sugar.
Director
André Pellenc
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was one of Louis de Funès's earliest credited roles, years before his explosive fame in the 1960s.
The 'tour des grands-ducs' refers to wealthy Parisians slumming in Montmartre cabarets — the film satirizes this performative class tourism.
