Synopsis

Monsieur Lange is a publishing house clerk who writes pulp Western novels in his spare time. When his untrustworthy boss Batala avoids his debt collectors by pretending to be dead, Lange and his co-workers take over the business and thrive on the popularity of Lange’s stories, until Batala returns…

MUBI's take

Scripted by Jacques Prévert, this hidden gem from Jean Renoir’s vibrant, politically provocative 1930s period is a delightful, satirical masterpiece of social exploitation and cooperation. Buoyed by the spirit of the Popular Front, workers’ solidarity has never looked so irresistibly sexy and fun!
