Comedy / Musical

Film Synopsis

Robert Montfort is a man who leads a bizarre double life.  By day, this most ordinary of men earns an honest crust as a lowly functionary, doing the dullest of jobs; by night, he is a popular nightclub entertainer.  No one in his entourage is aware of this, least of all is wife Solange and her parents, who regard him with abject contempt after his failed attempts to make his name as a poet.  When Solange becomes suspicious of how her husband is spending his evenings she becomes convinced that he is seeing another woman.  Robert's in-laws see the opportunity they have been waiting for, to push Solange to divorce him...
