Cast: Raimu, Georges Morton, Félix Oudart

Another good film by Roger Richebé ,a director who little by little is restored to favor in France .I must say I've never seen a bad movie by him.

"J'ai Une Idée" is a zany little comedy with Raimu on top of his game.The far-fetched story -it's a play transferred to the screen- is a little treat: involving English squires short of the readies,eager to latch onto a heritage (but their creditors are around the corner),explosives,nudity (Raimu),a burdensome -and a bit nymphomaniac- widow,exoticism (Raimu telling his so called trip to Mexico is worth the price of admission:"I went out of the station and there were Mexicans" ),smart servants,a reverend , revolutionary governments and above all,Raimu's wife's ideas each one crazier than the other.

Roger Richebé was perhaps helped by his first -rate actors (Raimu here,Arletty in "Madame Sans Gene" ),but he always knew how to get the best of them!

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
