Without Trumpet or Drum

For the Marquis Barbezieux de Saint-Rosay, nobility is important. If anything can comfort her, it's her family tree. In order to erase any doubt he invites in his castle a cousin of his established in Scotland, whom he instructs to bring him his titles of nobility. A first person introduces himself, calling himself his cousin, but it's not him. Then one, then two, then three false cousins ​​appear in turn. Will the real Saint-Rosay of Scotland eventually present itself?

Directed by Roger Blanc, Without Trumpet or Drum leans on a strong ensemble — André Gabriello, Gaby Morlay, Jules Berry — 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 1950.
