Comedy / Musical

Film Synopsis

Robert Montfort is a man who leads a bizarre double life.  By day, this most ordinary of men earns an honest crust as a lowly functionary, doing the dullest of jobs; by night, he is a popular nightclub entertainer.  No one in his entourage is aware of this, least of all is wife Solange and her parents, who regard him with abject contempt after his failed attempts to make his name as a poet.  When Solange becomes suspicious of how her husband is spending his evenings she becomes convinced that he is seeing another woman.  Robert's in-laws see the opportunity they have been waiting for, to push Solange to divorce him...

The very best period film dramas
sb-img-20
Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The very best French thrillers
sb-img-12
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
The best of American cinema
sb-img-26
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
