action
In order to get rid of the smell of the nestling and philistine bourgeois that prevents him from being elected mayor of the small town of St. Remys, Monsieur Fenouillard - "Tricotage in family ownership since prehistoric times" - sets out on a trip with his wife and two daughters to Paris. But their fate leads them to Le Havre instead of the Eiffel Tower and their mishap on a steamer that sets sail before they leave it from a sightseeing tour. As stowaways abandoned on the South American coast, landed with a cutter at the North Pole, drifted into the Pacific on an ice floe and returned to France overland after adventures in Japan, Monsieur Fenouillard has broadened his horizons enough to include not only the hero of Gaumont current events -Looking to be but also to become the new Mayor of St. Remys. Despite the American cannibals, wild convicts and Japanese samurais who love to drink, Madame always kept the scepter in her hand, both daughters, Artémis and Kunigonde, are engaged - and so the new fire engine for the town's fire department does not only satisfy Monsieur Fenouillard's voters.
criticism
“Amusing entertainment from France. Countless fun adventures, imaginatively from the director, the camera and served by the actors, provide viewers of 12 years of age with 75 minutes of unclouded joy. "
“Film adaptation of the famous children's book by the French physicist Christophe in a very theatrical production. Thanks to many funny ideas in the slapstick tradition, it is still imaginative and entertaining entertainment. "
