Histoire de rire

A woman thinks that her husband is not jealous enough and puts him to the test by diappearing with clueless Achilles who woos her; his best friend has an affair with a married woman .The victim and the sinner .

A pleasant harmless comedy , it's "just for a laugh" (the meaning of the title) ; can manly friendship survive the numerous problems with women? Well acted by Micheline Presles ,Fernand Gravey ,Pierre Renoir and Marie Déa,but a lot of filler (music hall scenes)

L'Herbier 's follow-ups ("la nuit fantastique" with the Gravey /Presles couple again and "l'honorable Catherine" )during the occupation ,were highly superior to this théâtre de boulevard .
