An irresistibly funny and moving Fernandel plays a humble station-master hoping to see his lifelong dream come true: he will take a trip to Biarritz with his wife and son. It presents a likeable little Provençal world with Galabru, Rellys, and Arletty, in the last film in which she played, radiantly optimistic as a warm-hearted café-owner. —René Château video
