About Fernand cow-boy
Fernand has just inherited a saloon in Texas from an uncle in America. Despite his inheritance, he is considered an intruder. Soon he's the victim of a cruel plot: accused of murder, arrested and kidnapped by Indians and gangsters. A young, beautiful, pure-hearted Indian, moved by Fernand's kindness, accompanies him back to the village. She's sure to become the owner of the Texas hotel.
Directed by Guy Lefranc, Fernand cow-boy leans on a strong ensemble — Dora Doll, Noël Roquevert, Fernand Raynaud — 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 1956.
