About
Synopsis
The Cow and I (La Vache et le Prisonnier, 1959) is Henri Verneuil's wartime comedy, free to watch online on iFILM. In 1943, French POW Charles Bailly (Fernandel) works a quiet German farm and hatches a plan to walk all the way home to Paris.
His trick is almost too simple. He talks the farmer's wife into lending him a cow named Marguerite, grabs a milk pail, and crosses the entire country in plain sight. Who stops to question a peasant leading his cow? Fernandel carries the whole thing on that long, mournful horse-face, turning a deadly trek into a gentle tragicomedy about homesickness. Warm, low-key cinema with barely a shot fired — ideal for an easy evening. Stream The Cow and I (1959) online on iFILM.
