As with all of Renoir`s films, it is impossible to define the tone of The Golden Coach, so smoothly does comedy shade into drama, joy into despair, warm optimism into cool cynicism and vice versa.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
What the whole thing comes down to is a stunningly colorful show, in the middle of which looms Miss Magnani.
Essential viewing.
Exquisitely shot by Claude Renoir, this is one of the great colour films.
