About The Boat on the Grass
Despite their social differences, poor David and the rich Olivier are the best friends. David took the young Eleanor in Olivier's Paris apartment. When Olivier meets her there, he takes her to the country, where the three build a boat on the meadow. Eleanore divided the friends.
Directed by Gérard Brach, The Boat on the Grass leans on a strong ensemble — Jean-Pierre Cassel, Claude Jade, John McEnery — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1971.
