from drowning. In her gratitude, Cécilia falls in love with him and, despite

Film Review
This lesser known Fernandel comedy features the great French comic hero in one of his
most poignant roles. The fragility of the May to September love affair is beautifully
characterised, with enchanting performances from Fernandel and Nicole Berger, although
it is perhaps Claude Nollier’s portrayal of the sharp-tongued and manipulative sister-in-law
who steals the show.
