This is a return to the thirties coarse comedies, with a screenplay which recalls such farces as "Ignace" .The beginning of the movie depicts a town in the fifties ,which has absolutely nothing to offer : but in the past ,there were barracks , dashing cavalrymen, and women with a wasp waist.Those were the days.So , back in time and on the show!This is close to vaudeville ,with mistakes and misunderstandings .Rellys,Jean Tissier and Pauline Carton make the thing palatable ,if you do not ask too much.
