France, 1931
Directed by René Clair
With Annabella, René Lefèvre, Jean-Louis Allibert
Approx. 82 min. 4K DCP restoration.
René Lefèvre, bedeviled by creditors, makes a grab at his model just as fiancée Annabella walks in… at least he’s won the lottery — wait, where’s the ticket? And as the hunt treks across Paris, a mass melée over the ticket is scored to the whistles and thuds of a soccer match.
Reviews
“Clair at his exquisite best.”
– Pauline Kael
“It’s funny and lively, mixing its musical numbers with a potent screwball sensibility that proved influential to filmmakers like the Marx Brothers.”
– Wilson Chapman, IndieWire
