Leguignon the Healer (French: Leguignon guérisseur) is a 1954 French comedy film directed by Maurice Labro and starring Yves Deniaud, Jane Marken and Nicole Besnard.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Jean Douarinou. It was made as a sequel to the 1952 film Monsieur Leguignon, Signalman.[2]
Leguignon suddenly discovers that he has a magical gift for healing people. These powers cause deep resentment amongst the vested interests in his town such as the physician and some inhabitants hoping their wealthy relative will die. They manage to have him incarcerated in prison for two weeks, but when he is released he still faces pressure. To complicate matters his daughter is in love with the doctor's son.
