Plot
A comedy of an eccentric Victorian household.
Sinekatalog’s take
Marcel Carné's absurd comedy of manners sets a mild botanist, a bishop and a killer in an eccentric Victorian house. Louis Jouvet and Michel Simon are hilarious in a witty, farcical, surreal British-flavoured romp.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
