Bric à Brac et compagnie
1931 Comedy   

 
Review
This rambling French comedy from the early days of sound would probably have passed into oblivion were it not for one particular name on its list of credits.  A certain music hall performer named Fernandel makes a very early film appearance.  Despite the brevity of his time on screen, the comic actor leaves a lasting impression, and it is little wonder that he would go to become one of the most popular film comedians of his generation.
