Miquette (1950 film) - Alchetron, The Free Social Encyclopedia

Miquette (French: Miquette et sa mère) is a 1950 French comedy film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot and starring Louis Jouvet, Bourvil and Saturnin Fabre. The film was an adaptation of the play Miquette et sa mere by Robert de Flers and Gaston Arman de Caillavet, which had previously been adapted into 1934 (Miquette) and 1940 (Miquette) films. The film is set around the turn-of-the century.

Clouzot was reluctant to make the film, but was contractually obliged to. It was not a commercial or critical success.
