A nice comedy, that aged pretty well compared to other 'classics' of that period.
Bourvil and Fernandel are doing a good job in their only (i think) collaboration and show good complicity.
Years before "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis", we have this opposition between North and South (summarized in their cooking style but not limited to that) - but in the South and in a really different settings as this is not the core of the movie. Core of the comedy is the come-back of Fernandel to its home place, but many many years after the war has ended. What will he find and how will he react to it? The best is not to spoil it but let you watch it!
