La Carcasse et le Tord-cou (1948)
La Carcasse, an obtuse peasant, lives with his wife Lucie and his father-in-law Tord-cou. At odds with his son-in-law, the Tord-cou takes it into his head to marry Thérésa, the daughter of their neighbor Casimir. But the Carcass, too, feels attracted to the young woman...
