Plot
A comedy about a lottery ticket in a lost coat.
Sinekatalog’s take
René Clair's musical farce chases a lottery ticket left in a lost jacket through Paris. Fast, rhythmic and delightfully silly, with sound used playfully, it is a charming early talkie and a joy of light French comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
