It's an Idyll and that's all! [Robert Saidreau - Chapter 9]

A stillborn film?

The shooting was announced on September 21, 1920 by Comœdia under the title "C'est une Idylle et voilà tout!" written by René Jeanne with the same actors as the film La paix chez soi (Andrée Féranne and Jacques de Féraudy), the shooting of which has just ended. After this initial announcement, neither the film nor the collaborators are mentioned again. We get lost in conjecture about the future of this project.

Too bad, because René Jeanne has only too rarely embarked on screenwriting and we would have liked to see the result. Despite the related title, it cannot be Boucot's First Idyll because this film had already been released on screens at the time of the announcement.
Andrée Feranne

Boubouroche

It should also be noted that L'intransigeant of January 10, L'Avenir of January 17 and Le Siècle of February 4, 1921 retain that Andrée Féranne is attached to a project of adaptation of Courteline's Boubouroche, just like Peace at home in which we can then see her. We don't hear any more about it afterwards, and the actress will no longer venture onto film sets.
