About Les Gaietés du palace
Whoever brings the Countess back her stolen necklace will receive a bonus of ten thousand francs. Honoré, the vagabond, who involuntarily finds himself in possession of the jewel, offers it to a little peasant girl who had been charitable towards him and with a touch of melancholy, resumes his journey.
Directed by Walter Kapps, Les Gaietés du palace leans on a strong ensemble — Armand Bernard, Christiane Delyne, Jean Tissier — 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 1936.
