...pavilions overflow, and the surplus spills into the streets. Sides of mutton hang along the northern wall of the church of Saint Eustache; mountains of crated cabbages and oranges block the sidewalks for half a mile.

...Sheep Has Five Legs would seem to be merely a copy of Kind Hearts and Coronets. Yet Fernandel is very French and very funny. Besides, this movie has a distinctly French twist--its emphasis on procreation. It is, as the village mayor says of an especially prolific crop of Saint Forget grandchildren, "a tribute to the Saint Forget vigor and the bounty of our native soil...
