If I Were Boss (French: Si j'étais le patron) is a 1934 French comedy film directed by Richard Pottier and starring Fernand Gravey, Max Dearly and Mireille Balin.[1] [2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Jacques Krauss. Thr depiction of a struggling business has been regarded as a metaphor for the wider state of French industry at the height of the Great Depression. It was produced the same year as a number of financial scandals hit French firms.[3]

Synopsis

Henri an employee at a car factory develops a revolutionary new improvement but his views are rejected as he faces the sack as a troublemaker. However the failing business is backed by an eccentric investor on the condition that Henri is appointed as manager of the firm. His new invention rescues the company, propelling it to success.
