Le cantinier de la coloniale (1937) Fr

Director: Henry Wulschleger Writers: Yves Mirande (dialogue), Yves Mirande (screenplay) Stars: Bach, Saturnin Fabre, Thérèse Dorny Our hero is the canteen man of the regiment; with his bossy missus, as infuriating as his military superiors, he reigns, so to speak, over the grunts grub. One fine day, opportunity knocks: his brother has just died; would you believe it, he made a fortune in America, and our canteen man is the sole legatee: 100 million bucks. Overnight, his life (and his wife s ) change:not only his mates tell him stories to make his heart bleed to get some dough, but two aristocrats, a marquis and an earl, short of the readies, want the canteen man s daughter, a wise girl in love with a deserving young lawyer doing his military service, to become their daughterinlaw, and to latch on to the girl s dowry.
