It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that from the earliest days of movies through the 1970s, the subject of failed suicide was often played for laughs as it was in this movie. In today's world, thankfully, no one will do this anymore. Artist: Aug. Leymarie Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster, which we have only previously auctioned twice before! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Condition: fair to good. Learn More about condition grades
