Comments

"Les disparus de Saint-Agil" ,released at the time when the French cinema was at its absolute peak, is one of Christian-Jaque 's finest films : he tried to repeat the formula (two stories, a children and an adult one) in "L'assassinat du père noel" (1941) which was written by Very too, but it was not as convincing. "Les anciens de Saint-Loup"(1950),although featuring different characters ,was supposed to be a sequel to "les disparus.." but the magic was gone and although it retains some charm in the first part,it's finally a disappointment.
