Bourvil as good as usual
28 January 2022
It is not one of his best roles but he plays it well. A great actor.

Here he is Hippolyte the village idiot who inherits a inn in a small town in Normandy. There is a condition, he must pass an elementary exam.

His aunt covets the heritage and will use the love of Hippolyte for her daughter Javotte ( Brigitte Bardot) to trick him and make him fail the exam.

Bourvil is supported by a great cast : Pierre Larquey, Jane Marke, Noel Roquevert etc.

And of course there is the lovely Brigitte Bardot playing the cousin Javotte. It is not here best movie either but each part where she appears is a funy one.

It is a charming old movie for all the family.
