Georges Courteline

La vida cotidiana de un escuadrón de la caballería francesa a principios de siglo XX.

Nicole Védrèss' chronicle of Paris from 1900 to 1914 is brought to life through the use of original material, all authentic, secured from more then 700 films belonging to public and private collections. A few of the celebrities of the time shown are Enrico Caruso, Sarah Bernhardt, and Maurice Chevalier.

A comedy about the petty bureaucrats who need special leather props under their posteriors because of the long hours they spend sitting at their desks.

The life of disorderly soldiers in the barracks dealing with daily routines.

The Twins, regular bad men of the regiment, have been condemned to the military prison, and it goes much against the grain of the kind-hearted Captain Hurluret to see these poor fellows confined to their cells. His leniency toward them, however, is speedily taken advantage of with most amusing results.
