This movie is not the kind of comedy I'm looking for, it's the kind of junk comedies that are difficult to see, like "Faites moi confiance" written by Francis Blanche (so bad that viewers in the theaters destroyed the chairs). Directed by Jean-Pierre Paulin, "Folie douce" is appalling by the very poor gags poorly played by the casting, yet with sometimes a quick rhythm. For me the only interest are some outside settings in the village, but that's all. Don't waste your time, that movie doesn't need restoration, other forgotten masterpieces are more urgent to discover, like "la Fille du Diable" by Henri Decoin for example, and so many more.
