Faut réparer Sophie (1933)
Directed by Alexandre Ryder

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Sophie lives in a large apartment building in which her father is employed as the concierge.  The latter is a stiff, upright man who will tolerate no nonsense from the building's tenants, and even less from his daughter.  When, one day, he sees Sophie being tenderly embraced by a man he does not recognise the concierge's umbrage goes into overload.  In fact the over-attentive father has managed to get the wrong end of the stick and doesn't realise that the object of his loathing, a viscount, has come to pay a call on his fiancée on the fifth floor.  The concierge is implacable and demands that his daughter's honour be satisfied with a suitable reparation.  Sophie's devoted fiancé sees the matter very differently...
