Pagnol is brilliant
Le Schpountz is a very fun film. It again proves that Marcel Pagnol was an excellent director and an even better writer. Fernandel's acting is sublime. Good print.

Le Schpountz
An undeservedly little known (in U.S.) French comedy, starring Fernandel, a great comic actor, as a small town schlub with the pipe-dream of making it big on the silver screen. A number of scenes of subtle and heart-felt pathos, and wonderful ending. Written and directed by Marcel Pagnol, of My Mother's Castle and My Father's Glory fame. Resolution on this transfer is reasonably good. Rare spots
