Synopsis:

A year after the German version, Carl Boese's Man braucht kein Geld (1932), Pas besoin d'argent mocks the middle classes of a small provincial town affected by the economic slump, and gives free rein to all kinds of trickery and swindling. In Saint-Berneville, nothing is as it seems. The rich uncle from America arrives without a penny to his name. But what does that matter? Everyone believes he is a millionaire. The black gold which eventualy gushes forth from the soil of the Lower Loiret is useless: confidence prevails and the town prospers. The important thing is to have faith in it. With his third feature film, Paulin (L'Esclave blanc, La Femme nue) has created a satirical comedy, focusing the cameras on the France of 1933 in a work carried along by Claude Dauphin with his ubiquitous cynicism and by his victim Gaston Gabaroche, who also composed the original soundtrack.
