The Duratons (French: Les Duraton) is a 1955 French comedy film directed by André Berthomieu and starring Jane Sourza, Ded Rysel and Claude Nicot.[1] It was shot at the Boulogne Studios in Paris and on location in Senlis. The film's sets were designed by the art director Raymond Nègre. It was the second film to be based on the popular radio series The Duraton Family following the 1939 production The Duraton Family directed by Christian Stengel.[2]
Jules Duraton is the local schoolmaster and lives with his family, but he is infuriated by a radio show of an identical name which he believes has made his family a laughing stock. He decides to sue the broadcasters. Matters are complicated when the lawyer hired by the radio company falls in love with Jules Duraton's daughter Solange.
