About Bach en correctionnelle
A parodic trial, in which one sees a merry luron, tried for trifles, rallying the whole court to him as soon as one learns that he inherits a large fortune.
Directed by Henry Wulschleger, Bach en correctionnelle leans on a strong ensemble — Bach, Yvonne Yma, Jean Brochard — 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 1940.
