    • Goofs
      The Baker scoops coins into his hand from the counter and places them in a paper bag. He then puts the bag into a metal box. Except, he missed one coin on the counter. The scene cuts to Gigot in the doorway and then back to the Baker holding the metal box and the coin on the counter is gone.
    • Quotes

      Alphonse: Would you say this Gigot has a good mind?

      Madame Brigitte: As good as you will find in the chamber of the Senate.

      Alphonse: That is not good enough.

      Gaston: [writing in his notebook] That - is - not - good...

      Alphonse: Do not write that down.

    What a sweet, wonderful movie!

    Jackie Gleason may have been the greatest entertainer of all time. This movie shows that he wasn't all "booze, broads, cigarettes, and showgirls." When I first saw that this movie had Jackie in it, I thought it was a "vanity film" (sometimes stars take movies to satisfy large egos) but I sure was wrong. This is a wonderful movie full of heart and love. Only people with good souls could make a movie like this. I highly recommend this movie and once you see this movie you'll see that Jackie Gleason was a big man with a big heart.
