En plein dans le mille

Octave Laburette only makes blunders in his job with a backroom worker. He buys ten thousand shares of the Compagnie Générale des Cacahuètes, when the client wanted to sell them. His boss registers them on his own account: Octave then owes the agency sixty thousand francs and his wife informs him that she is joining her lover.

Directed by André Chotin, En plein dans le mille leans on a strong ensemble — Jean Gobet, Paulette Dubost, Max Révol — 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 screen titles of 1933.
