What happens

Narcisse is a 1940 French comedy film directed by Ayres d'Aguiar and starring Rellys, Paul Azaïs and Monique Rolland. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and the Saint-Laurent-du-Var Studios in Nice. The film's sets were designed by the art director Lucien Aguettand. It is a remake of the 1938 British film It's in the Air directed by Anthony Kimmins and re-used footage from the earlier film. It was produced during the Phoney War period and was released in March 1940, a few weeks before the beginning of the Battle of France. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
