The Story of a Cheat (1936)

Life story of a charming scoundrel, with little dialogue other than the star/director's witty narration. As a boy, only he survives a family tragedy when he's deprived of supper (poisonous mushrooms!) for stealing...concluding that dishonesty pays. Through years of dabbling in crime and amusing adventures, two women appear and reappear in his life, a dazzling blonde jewel thief and a stunning brunette gambler. Finally, he meets the mysterious Charbonnier who had saved his life in World War I, leading to the surprising next phase in his career...

Genial! Un espectacular inicio de una narrativa inusual en esa epoca, con tintes sarcasticos atrapa al más fuerte...

L'esprit leger et caustique de Guitry m'enchante. Qualifie de film muet sonore a cause de l'omnipresence du recitant, l'histoire batie sur l'idee que l'honnetete ne paie pas est toujours surprenante et anticonformiste. Un reel plaisir.

One of Sacha Guitry's most enjoyably ephemeral soufflés.

Bob Baker 23 Jun 2006

The peculiarity of the narrative is that it forgoes dialogue in favour of a non-stop commentary by the author... it's quite unique, with the hero's ruthlessness paralleled by Guitry's own in never letting anyone else get a look in.

a fantastic film that has clearly inspired soderberg's 'ocean's' films, as well as, of all things, 'ferris bueller's day off.' like 'ferris,' 'le roman d'un tricheur (diary of a cheat) uses direct camera address, as well as extensive voiceover in a playful actor/audience repartee. it is essentially a silent film re-purposed as a talkie by making use of hilarious, meandering narration by the lead character. it also serves as a showcase for the many talents of director sacha guitry, who plays the lead, does the narration, transforms into a multitude of personas, and also displays incredible slight of hand skills with both cards and coins.
