Silent film director Maurice Chevalier agrees to keep an eye on his best friend’s naïve daughter, Marcelle Derrien. At first he can barely be bothered with the girl, but her guileless charms grow on him and he falls in love. “A tender, bantering homage to the first artisans of the cinema, to whom René Clair owes so much.”– Georges Charensol
