This famous anti-capitalist statement starts with two prisoners who become friends. Louis (Raymond Cordy) escapes and becomes an executive at a phonograph factory. When his friend, Emile (Henri Marchand), gets out of jail, he ends up as an assembly-line worker at his friend's factory. The de-humanization of the workers is highlighted with comedic interludes. This is the first non-English speaking film to receive an Oscar nomination (Best Art Direction).
