- 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
