Comment

The character of Bourvil is relatively close to that which he interprets in the Mirror with two faces , as well by its play as by the situation. The film oscillates between the drama and the comedy, this last kind carrying it overall and finally. Of this fact it remains contrary to that of André Cayatte.

Quotation

Going on a country road, in town suit smart and high heels: “ If I had known I would have put my ballerinas! ”. It should be seen and especially to hear it…
