Si ça peut vous faire plaisir (1948) - film review

In the shop where they sell funeral wreaths, Monsieur Viala and his wife are celebrating their silver wedding anniversary.  Noticing a young woman at the window, Viala hastily invites his entourage to go off and play a game of bowls so that he can exchange a few furtive words with his uninvited guest.   Viala’s friend Martial Gonfaron is not so easily deceived and guesses correctly that the visitor, Ginette, is one of Viala’s lady friends.  Viala wonders what he is to do when he learns that Ginette and he have bought a winning lottery ticket.  He decides to tell the world that it was Martial, not Ginette, who shared the cost of the ticket and is therefore entitled to half of the winnings.  How could such a brilliant scheme go so horribly wrong...?
