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.
