In this film, the first of three stories concerns a simple monk (Rellys) whose aunt leaves him a recipe for a wonderful liquor, which he manufactures to sustain his impoverished monastery.

Robert Hatch The Nation Daudet's Lettres de Mon Moulin seem a marvelous chance for the piquant-sentimental style of Marcel Pagnol. But it has not worked out that way. Dec 23, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
