Narcisse is a 1940 French comedy film directed by Ayres d'Aguiar and starring Rellys, Paul Azaïs and Monique Rolland. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and the Saint-Laurent-du-Var Studios in Nice. The film's sets were designed by the art director Lucien Aguettand. It is a remake of the 1938 British film It's in the Air directed by Anthony Kimmins and re-used footage from the earlier film. It was produced during the Phoney War period and was released in March 1940, a few weeks before the beginning of the Battle of France.
Synopsis
Narcisse Pigeon hopes to join the French Air Force, but fails the selection board. One day, at a friend's house, he tries on his uniform and discovering an overlooked urgent message in the pocket, he goes to deliver it to the base. He is mistaken for a serving airmen and quickly falls foul of the sergeant major, while also falling in love with the attractive canteen girl Rosine. He then accidentally ends up flying a new prototype plane, inadvertently performing a series of acrobatic manoeuvres in the air, before somehow managing to land it again.
