...wasn't there and swears that his son wasn't either, v. the unwed mother, who was there and moans that Fernandel's son was, too. Fernandel won't sell bread to his friends turned foes, and the scenes swarm relentlessly, with so many Proven-gal provincials running around like so many Provencal provincials with their bread cut off.
