Boudu Saved from Drowning (Fr: Boudu sauvé des eaux) is a 1932 comic farce from France directed by Jean Renoir.Boudu (Michel Simon) is a scruffy, ragged bum, sleeping in a park by the Seine in Paris. When his dog runs away one day Boudu seems to decide he's had enough of life, and jumps into the river from a pedestrian bridge. While doing so he is spotted by one Edouard Lestingois (Charles Granval), a bookseller with a shop and apartment right across the street. Lestingois dives into the river, fishes out Boudu, and revives him.Whether out of real generosity or because he thinks it's The Right Thing To Do, Lestingois invites Boudu to stay with the family, which consists of his wife Emma (Marcelle Hainia) and their maid Chloe (Sévérine Lerczinska), who also happens to be Edouard's mistress. Boudu behaves just as one might expect a tramp to do— namely, like a crude, ill-mannered slob. He spits out wine when he doesn't like it, he wipes his shoes with satin sheets, he drinks to excess, he makes crude sexual advances on Emma and Chloe. Edouard can't deal with such a force of nature, while both Emma and Chloe prove surprisingly receptive to those crude sexual advances.This film was a loose inspiration for the Japanese film Spring Dreams, and was later more faithfully remade in America as Down and Out in Beverly Hills. It also got a French remake in 2004, directed by and starring Gérard Jugnot and also starring Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Frot. | |

The Tramp | |
| Boudu Saved from Drowning / int_1c5cfd7a | comment |
The Tramp: Boudu, who seems to like being a smelly, dirty tramp, if the last scene is any indication. | |

Source Music | |
| Boudu Saved from Drowning / int_1ebbebc5 | comment |
Source Music: All the music is diegetic. When Renoir wants a flute theme to play over shots of the family at home, we see a flutist in the next house playing; when he wants trumpets for the scene where Boudu is having sex with Emma, a marching band passes by. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Pretty easy to guess that the multiple references to the lottery tickets Boudu bought will be important. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension: It's evident that this is going on between Boudu and Emma by the point that he's poking her chest and saying "what's in there" while she's angrily berating him. Sex follows. | |

Threesome Subtext: All's well that ends well for Edouard at the end of the movie, as we see him cuddling up with Emma and Chloe, one woman under each arm, after they've clambered up onto the riverbank following the spill form the boat. | |
