Julien is in love with Marinette, a pretty waitress, but he is too shy to make any romantic overtures. Eric decides to give the course of true love a helping hand by pretending to be Julien. Meanwhile, Eric’s fabulously wealthy uncle has sent his minions out to bring him back home, so that he may celebrate Christmas in the bosom of his family.

Viewing Notes
Movie number five for me. This is an adorable romantic comedy set in a small town in France on Christmas Eve involving mistaken identities and a mysterious suitor. Gilbert Bécaud is charming in the dual role and the beautiful Françoise Arnoul does a great job as the seesawing waitress. Adorable and totally a Christmas movie in the best way. I love the fake snow and the small town sets. Movies filmed on sets, especially older ones, really hit the spot for me.
