Anecdotes
The title comes from a poem by the 16th century writer Du Bellay extolling the simple country life. Ulysses had participated in the sack of Troy and had travelled all around the world, but was not happy until he returned to his Ithaca home, his wife, and his son.

Fernandel's last picture

This was Fernandel's last film; he was to die not long after its release. A simple story of a man and his old horse, with a loving portrait of life in Provence, this is a very moving film indeed. Antoine arranges to deliver his horse Ulysse to the picador in Arles, to be used in bullfights. But his heart is not in it; he remembers too many incidents from the past (like Spencer Tracy in The Old Man and the Sea).

In Arles, he takes the horse away after watching another horse getting gored... The grace and subtlety of Fernandel's performance is impressive. Thanks to Télé-Québec for including this in their Fernandel series.
