About Chotard and Co.
François Chotard, wholesale grocer, gives his daughter in marriage to Julien Collinet, a writer who prefers dreaming to working, a situation conducive to quarrels between the son and the father- in-law. Until the day when Julien receives the Prix Goncourt, prestigious literary award. Chotard has a sudden change of heart.
Directed by Jean Renoir, Chotard and Co. leans on a strong ensemble — Jeanne Boitel, Fernand Charpin, Georges Pomiès — 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 1933.
