In French with English subtitles. Also known as
Le Père Tranquille.
French comedian Noel-Noel essays the title role in
Mr. Orchid (aka
The Quiet Father). Contrary to expectations, the star isn't a secret father, but in fact the unknown head of a WW2 resistance movement. By playing the fool whenever the Nazis are around and about,
Noel-Noel is able to conceal his double life and successfully carry out his various sabotage missions. This deft combination of comedy and melodrama builds to a particularly suspenseful climax. Directed by
Rene Clement.
