Summary:
Tire-au-flanc 62: A comedic examination of French army life and social classes. Jean is a private who is assigned to the same platoon as Joseph, his servant. Joseph is successful at adapting to the military, while Jean struggles. Things get worse when Jean is cast as a servant and Joseph is cast as his master in a play. Amour et publicité: To promote their goods, a large department store uses a couple of employees to pose as newlyweds in the store's window. The two are romantically involved and enjoy their newly found fame. But then the store manager enlists another employee to play the part of the wife's lover who brings her gifts of a very personal nature. The young lady enjoys the attention and she becomes interested in her "lover."
