The Turkey

1951 · 85 min

A frothy farce of mistaken intentions and bedroom doors, played with theatrical energy and elegant Belle Epoque charm.

Overview: Paris at the Belle Epoque. Monsieur de Pontagnac, a perfect honest man, loves pretty women too much and that plays him many tricks. What need does he have to follow the pretty Lucienne Vatelin, home, to find himself in the presence of the husband, the notary Vatelin, who is part of his circle? From there, many characters will meet, avoid each other, find each other. Adultery, domestic scenes and reconciliation will be their lot.
How it feels: Light, absurd, satirical and whimsical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Love, deception, betrayal, class
Content: Mild sexual content. No violence, gore or swearing.
