About Champions of France
In the lead up to WWII, several escapist French films were made promoting health and sport among youth.In this one, we see the friendship of young males on a Marne river rowing team threatened by the presence of a typical femme fatale.
Directed by Willy Rozier, Champions of France leans on a strong ensemble — Georgius, Pierre Etchepare, André Fouché — 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 1938.
