About J'y suis, j'y reste
A restaurant owner in the Les Halles district had her handbag stolen, containing her identity papers. Ten years later, wanting to marry her bartender, she learns that the thief who stole her bag has married a young baron, using her own name. She then decides to go to the mansion of her "legal husband" to reveal the truth and demand a divorce, causing disruption in the lives of the baron and his aunt, a countess who is very strict about traditions. Finally, it is a cardinal, visiting the castle, who finds a way out of this situation.
Directed by Jean-Pierre Rey, J'y suis, j'y reste leans on a strong ensemble — Christiane Lenain, Jean Hayet, Serge MICHEL — 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 1972.
