• It’s a subversive situation comedy- starts with nobody helping a bum (Michel Simon as Boudu) look for a lost dog and everyone trying to help a rich beautiful woman do the same
  • Great long reverse tracking shot on a boat
  • Renoir takes dead aim at society’s hypocrisy
  • Makes one of the most indelible characters of the decade
  • Another great Renoir tracking shot from the dining table and then pivoting and going forward to the window to create a natural frame for the next shot
  • Feels like Simon is chasing around a good looking young maid for about 15 minutes
  • End of the top 10 of the year quality
  • Highly Recommend
