His Excellency Antonin (French: Son excellence Antonin) is a 1935 French comedy film directed by Charles-Félix Tavano and starring Raymond Cordy, Josette Day and Robert Pizani.[1] [2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Gys.
Antonin, a lowly dishwasher working at a grand hotel, wins seven million francs on the lottery. Suddenly he is feted by his colleagues and his manager throws a party in his honour and wishes him to marry his daughter. A baron staying at the hotel educates Antonin in stylish manners. Three different people claim to be Antonin's long-lost father in order to get a share of the money. In despair, Antonin announces he has lost the ticket. At once his new friends all abandon him and only Betty a maid at the hotel stays with him.
