About This Movie
La Mascotte is quite the curious piece from 1935 that showcases a blend of comedic whimsy and a touch of the absurd. The story revolves around Bettina, a turkey keeper whose luck seems to bring good fortune to those around her, particularly King Laurent XVII, who’s in quite a financial pickle. The film’s pacing is leisurely, allowing the humor to unfold naturally, and the performances have a certain charm, even if they don't quite reach the heights of some of the era's bigger productions. It's got this unique aura, a sense of simplicity that feels oddly refreshing today, and the practical effects—well, they add a certain authenticity that’s hard to replicate in modern cinema.
La Mascotte is a bit of a rarity, not often spotlighted in collector circles, which makes it intriguing for those interested in lesser-known comedic works from the 1930s. There have been a few home media releases over the years, but original prints are becoming scarce, which adds to its appeal. It’s certainly not mainstream, but there's a niche group of collectors who appreciate its oddball charm and the lighthearted themes it embodies.
