Summary
The inhabitants of a small rural village, Trézignan, decide to hold a fête
to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the five sons, quintuplets, of the local wine
grower, Edouard Saint-Forget. Unfortunately, the five sons left home twenty years
ago after a row with their father and went their own separate ways. Their godfather,
Doctor Bolène sets out to find the five identical sons and bring them back to Trézignan.
Review
Fernandel gives not one but six great comic performances in this hilarious comedy from
director Henri Verneuil (who is perhaps better known for his crime thriller than burlesque
comedies such as this). The film comprises a series of comic instalments, in each
of which Fernandel plays a different character, showing both his great versatility and
comic flair.
