About Tobie Is an Angel
Tobie is a hopeless daydreamer. He always has his head in the clouds, and this inevitably gets him into trouble with his employer. In the end, Tobie loses his job as a fairground performer and sinks into a state of abject despair.
Directed by Yves Allégret, Tobie Is an Angel leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Brasseur, Janine Darcey, Pauline Carton — 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.
