Tout chante autour de moi

Georges works in a small-town drugstore. Passionate about music, he writes songs. When Anne-Marie, whom he loves, loses her parents, he leaves with her for Paris, protecting her because she is blind. His friends Paul and Marthe put them up in the vacant apartment of the publisher Recordier. When he returns, he's irritated, but Anne-Marie sings Georges' songs so well that he makes her a radio star. Georges flies into a rage, slamming doors. An upset Anne-Marie has an accident. Operation restores her sight. All that's left for good Paul to do is reunite the brave Georges with the sweet Anne-Marie.

Directed by Pierre Gout, Tout chante autour de moi leans on a strong ensemble — Marcel Mouloudji, Christine Carère, Pierre Mondy — 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 1954.
