Clochemerle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clochemerle is a 1934 French satirical novel by Gabriel Chevallier. It is set in a French village in Beaujolais and deals with the ramifications over plans to install a new urinal in the village square.
Many British people will know the story from a 1972 BBC television serial. The script was somewhat freely adapted from the original novel by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. It was filmed on location in France, and starred Cyril Cusack, Wendy Hiller, Kenneth Griffith, Roy Dotrice, Cyd Hayman, Micheline Presle, Bernard Bresslaw, Hugh Griffith, Madeline Smith and Wolfe Morris. The series was narrated by Peter Ustinov.
