I guess they got no way of knowing How lonesome I can be !

Plot :Carlo Ferrari (Rossi) is the toast of the town ; all the girls love him and his songs can be heard all day long on the radio .But he has not found love .One fine day , he and his good pal Toto (Raymond Cordy) ,a failed cycle champion, go dancing in the guinguettes (open-air café ,a thing of the past).They meet two girls ,Renée (Michèle Alfa) and Yvonne (Marie Bizet). To fool Renée , Carlo pretends he is a driving instructor and offers the girl free lessons.

A vehicle for singer Tino Rossi (who sings "Paris,voici Paris" " Au bal de l'amour" and Schubert's "ave maria") , originality is not the screenwriters' forte .Toto serves as a foil to the handsome singer and his idyll with Yvonne plays the same role .

Richard Pottier ,nonetheless, shows some flair as far as comic is concened ;he directed the first version of "some like it hot" ("fanfare d'amour "in the thirties)after all and his sense of humor emerges now and then :Alphonse the pet otary (you read well) demands (through a written sign ) fresh fish, not canned (tinned) sardines ! "You wonderfully drive " the would be instructor tells his pupil before a tracking out shows us they are on a breakdown mechanic.

But these moments are few and far between ;should be reserved for Tino Rossi's fans.

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.
