Hats off!

A remake of a René Clair's silent movie (1927) based on a play by Labiche ,the master of French théâtre de Boulevard , this fim possesses strong appeal for Fernandel 's fans .

The hero's horse has eaten a lady's straw hat from Italy (check the title) and she demands exactly the same hat ( it's her hubby's gift and she is with her lover) ; so this groom ,en route for the wedding ceremony ,must go out of his way to find the precious hat .The bride's father is infuriated ,and,every ten minutes , threatens :"all is broken off."

As this kind of hat is nowhere to be found, it's an interminable search which leads the unfortunate groom to funny situations .Fernandel sings two or three songs including "elle bayait aux corneilles" (she was standing and gaping).
