Antoine is a print shop foreman; Antoinette, his wife, is a beautiful photomat clerk. Their marriage is threatened due to the fact that Antoinette manages to flirt with every man she encounters, while Antoine is a jealous hothead who can't stand to see her flaunt herself so openly. As if that wasn't bad enough, poor old Antoine loses a winning lottery ticket that's worth a fortune. Winner of the Grand Prix at the 1947 Cannes Film Festival. [More]

Reviews for Antoine et Antoinette
The thin plot revolves around a desperate search for a lost lottery ticket.
An enjoyable but slight bit of French comedy whose premise is far better than its execution.
