Summary
Since his birth in 1925, Jérôme has striven to bring peace and happiness to all around him.  During the war, his sunny outlook brightens many a dark day, and his time in military service and as a schoolteacher are equally trouble free.  A pity then that not everyone around him shares his outlook…

Review
Popular French comic performer Darry Cowl stars in this routine 1950s comedy, which is really just a series of uninspired sketches cobbled together into a full-length film.  It’s pretty anodyne stuff, but some of the visual gags work rather well and there’s a decent turn from the almost mythic comedian Francis Blanche.
