Boudu Saved from Drowning

After a suicidal plunge into the Seine, Parisian tramp Boudu is saved by well-to-do bookseller Edouard Lestingois. The Lestingois family takes in the irrepressible bum, but his gratitude turns their home upside down. Directed by Jean Renoir, the film uses Parisian locations and Michel Simon's anarchic charm to create an effervescent satire of the bourgeoisie.
