Famille nombreuse

1934 · 113 min

A gentle, good-natured old-fashioned comedy of mistaken likeness and domestic muddle, easy to settle into and pleasant rather than laugh-out-loud.

Overview
Follenfant, father of a large family, completed late military service. He looks a lot like the commander who is shy and thanks to this resemblance, Follenfant who is also a ventriloquist, makes his superior and his own happy by marrying the widowed seamstress and mother, too, of a large family.
