Lost gem !!!

It's a real pity that this movie was not better released. I catched it on a streaming Platform. it tells the story of a French exiled in Paraguay who tries to eventually make it and get back to Europe. His faith will cross a young woman's one, played by Marie Laforêt. A very good and moving adventure film that deserves to be watched by large audiences. And the topic of this broke man who tries to emerge from disaster is rather modern to me. Aznavour is a real hero without being a tough man at all. I was also surprised to see that this film had an American like music score, like a Hollywood feature.
