Villa Mon Rêve (1960)

Overview

"Directed in 1960, the second short film from Champeaux studios, Villa Mon Rêve is undoubtedly Albert Champeaux's emblematic film. Awarded in many festivals (Cork, Venice, Acapulco, etc.), it will be distributed internationally by Rank. This is the beginning of the adventures of Mr Schmtz, a nerdy crook with many faces. Three other short films will display the failed scams of this funny guy. This film, broadcast in 1961 as the first part of cinema sessions, is incredibly modern, benefited by the magnificent sets by Pierre Watrin and very contemporary animation and production. This film, which comes the ages without a wrinkle, was chosen by the second French TV channel (at the time Antenne2) for the transition period to color broadcasting." - https://youtu.be/4Req92LU290
