  • "Michel Simon gives one of the most memorable performances in screen history as Boudu, a Parisian tramp who takes a suicidal plunge into the Seine and is rescued by a well-to-do bookseller, Edouard Lestingois (Charles Granval). The Lestingois family decides to take in the irrepressible bum, and he shows his gratitude by shaking the household to its foundations. With Boudu Saved from Drowning, legendary director Jean Renoir takes advantage of a host of Parisian locations and the anarchic charms of his lead actor to create an effervescent satire of the bourgeoisie."
  • "Boudu, clochard parisien, se jette à la Seine. Repêché par un libraire aux idées libérales, il sème l'anarchie dans la famille."
  • "A Parisian bookseller saves a tramp, Boudu, from suicide in the Seine and, feeling responsible for him, lets him live in his home. Boudu totally disregards proprieties, seduces the wife and maid, and generally plagues the household. Upon accidentally falling into the river again, he rediscovers his liberty and returns to his wanderings."
  • "A scruffy tramp is not grateful for being rescued from suicide and plagues the family that takes him in."

  • "Boudu, a tramp saved from suicide by a bookshop owner, brings disorder into the latter's bourgeois household. A light comedy as well as a satire of the lifestyle of the time."
  • "A well-off bookseller rescues a tramp from a suicidal plunge into the Seine and his family dedicates itself to reforming him. He shows his gratitude by shaking the household to its foundations, challenging the hidebound principles of his hosts."
  • "A drowning tramp is rescued by a book dealer, changing the lives of both."
  • "Boudu sauvé des eaux de Jean Renoir ne serait pas le chef-d'oeuvre qu'il est, sans la présence étonnante de Michel Simon éblouissant de malice goguenarde, qui fait ici sa création la plus savoureuse et la plus époustouflante, avec celle du père Jules dans L'Atalante de Jean Vigo."
  • "A scruffy tramp is not grateful for being rescued from suicide, and plagues the family that has invited him to stay."
  • "Boudu, a shambling tramp, is taken into the middle-class household of a Parisian book seller after being rescued from the Seine. The collision between nature and convention is represented as a series of humorous incongruities as Boudu shows scant regard for bourgeois decorum. The humour is gently satirical and subversive rather than cutting, but is far from the original play's affirmation of middle-class culture. The theme of moral freedom is realised through a formal freedom. Renoir's use of longtakes and camera movement, despite a loosely framed composition with the continuous suggestion of a world beyond the frame, was the antithesis of the then developing Hollywood style of tight composition and reverse angle cutting."
  • "A tramp attempting suicide is fished out of the Seine by a Paris bookseller and taken to his home, only to throw the businessman and his family's lives into chaos."
  • ""Boudu [is] a Parisian tramp who takes a suicidal plunge into the Seine and is rescued by a well-to-do bookseller, Edouard Lestingois. The Lestingois family decides to take in the irrepressible bum, and he shows his gratitude by shaking the household to its foundations"--DVD sleeve."
  • ""Boudu, clochard parisien, se jette à la Seine. Repêché par un libraire aux idées libérales, il sème l'anarchie dans la famille..."
  • "Bondu, a tramp, is saved from drowning by a book dealer. When his benefactor tries to do the right thing and rehabilitate Boudu, helping him become a member of society, the tramp counterattacks. He refuses the comforts of the middle class."
  • "Le clochard Boudu, très affecté par la mort de son chien, saute dans la Seine depuis le pont des Arts. Lestingois, libraire épicurien, l'a vu commettre ce geste de désespoir et saute à son tour pour le sauver. Il le ramène dans sa boutique et, avec l'aide d'un sauveteur professionnel, le fait revenir à lui. Capricieux, râleur, Boudu est incapable d'éprouver le moindre sentiment de reconnaissance. Le pittoresque du bonhomme fascinent le libraire qui l'accueille chez lui. A partir de là, les ennuis commencent."
  • "Boudu, a tramp, is saved from a suicide attempt by a bookseller; he then insists that his rescuer be responsible for his life."
  • "A Parisian antiquarian bookseller saves a scruffy tramp, Boudu, from suicide in the Seine and, feeling responsible for him, takes him home. Boudu totally disregards proprieties, seduces the wife and maid, and in general plagues the household. Upon accidentally falling into the river again, he rediscovers his liberty and returns to his wanderings."
