Synopsis

In Paris, Baron des Aubrais is the head of The Society for the Reward for Virtue, but at night he becomes a roué, and pursues the same woman admired by his son.

Cast

Production

The film was shot at Ealing Studios in London,[2] with sets designed by the art director Jean d'Eaubonne. A separate French-language version, Chaste Susanne, was shot at the same time by Berthomieu, with Henri Garat being the only actor to appear in both versions.

Critical reception

In a contemporary review Kine Weekly said "Though it never succeeds in getting very far away from its technical and dramatically dated origins, this screen adaptation of the popular operetta of a quarter of a century ago, when Paris was considered more naughty than it is today, is put over in spirited style by its cast, while the alternately piquant and broadly farcical situations arising from amatory indiscretions, principally at the Mouin Rouge, of the hypocritical old moralist, still carry a fair quota of laughs."[3]

The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 3/5 stars, writing: "The musical numbers are inadequate, but the farce is peppily played."[4]

Leslie Halliwell said: "Moderately piquant comedy. "[5]
