Jean Gourguet's 1928 49-minute silent feels like a French precursor to Siodmak's 1930 "Menschen am Sonntag". It shows us how Parisians of the 1920s spent their Sundays, by following the progress of four young people on their day off - a girl, her beau, and his two rivals. The film is at turns comic, wistful and romantic.
A shipping company manager ,Pierre Ricardo , is one of his captains' wife's lover.To take the intruder away,the boss sends his captain,Handsome (sic) , to a faraway land ,on an old tub ,"La Danaé" .But the captain takes his wife along with him in this long voyage.PIerre Ricardo follows them.After a tempest and a rebellion, Pierre Ricardo becomes a changed man :he has realized his captain is a true man whereas he was just a gigolo.
