Would-Be Gentleman (1968)

Genre : Comedy, TV Movie

Runtime : 2H 10M

Director : Pierre Badel

Synopsis

Le Bourgeois gentilhomme satirizes attempts at social climbing and the bourgeois personality, poking fun both at the vulgar, pretentious middle-class and the vain, snobbish aristocracy. The title is meant as an oxymoron: in Molière's France, a "gentleman" was by definition nobly born, and thus there could be no such thing as a bourgeois gentleman.
