Pefite Fortune
In 1936 Yves Mirande, director of many a gay French cinema comedy, had a motoring smashup in Macon, France, was treated for his injuries by the Doctors Denis pere et fils. Recently Doctor Jean and Son Raymond took their lawyer to see Une Petite Fortune, a new Yves Mirande film in which a village doctor gets the local mayor to remove warning signs from a dangerous crossroads, waxes rich patching up motorists when they crash. "Libel!" roared the lawyer, and Director Mirande was promptly sued by Denis pere et fils. "My film is a pure fantasy, based on the incident at Macon, but in nowise aimed at les Docteurs Denis," cried Defendant Mirande. The entire Macon Tribunal traveled 45 miles to Lyon, viewed Une Petite Fortune, and last week acquitted Yves Mirande.
