Jean Renoir directs Sylvia Bataille, Jane Marken and Georges D’Arnoux in this French comedy where a two horny rogues disrupt a family daytrip so they can get the women of the family to themselves.

An incomplete film that actually works fine in its assembled state. You get the ultimate point, there’s minimal fat and it doesn’t outstay its welcome. The pastoral satire is fun, especially the attention to detail.
