This "five-leaf clover" belongs to Philippe Noiret's country movies,which include such works as "Clérambard" and "Alexandre le Bienheureux ";he is the raison d'être of a mediocre flick ;the scenes,towards the end,between him and the girl show that the movie could have been poetic ,a la "Poil De Carotte" (another role of Noiret) ,but definitely without the excess luggage ...
That is to say without this unbearable gallery of weirdos, the worst being Jean Roger Caussimon 's so called vampire and Jean Carmet's ex-legionnaire .
The "viager" subject ,that is to say to sell a house in return for a life annuity was much better applied on Pierre Tchernia's "le viager" ,released the very same year .
