Another musical by Jean Boyer featuring Ray Ventura "Et Ses Collégiens " (and his schoolboys ) the main purpose of which is to highlight the tracks which are part easy-listening jazz and part comedy songs :if the audience had forgotten it,lines at the end of the movie tell them that they were available on Polydor records;at the time when seeing artists perform live was rare ,it was a smart way to promote songs.
The films itself is rather pleasant,based on mistakes about a baby the orchestra has to care of and treats as their pet .....until so-called "mothers" appear;it's a bit repetitive but there are good gags: the "grandfather" kissing his grandson goodnight and realizing "he is cold " (because his daughter has replaced the toddler with a doll) or the orchestra,reduced to five members (whereas they are 18 in all),performing live on stage with the help of a record player.
Audrey Hepburn (you read well) appears in two or three scenes ,which may be the main reason why people would like to watch this harmless musical (the famous actress does not sing or dance,mind you)
