— Mon époque ? Elle est mécanique. Mais si on cherche bien, elle a quand même une âme.

A sequel to the highly successful Papa, maman, la bonne et moi directed by Jean-Paul Le Chanois in 1954, Papa, maman, ma femme et moi, reuniting the same cast and crew, forms the second part of a diptych that is much better than its reputation (…) The diptych, and more particularly Papa, maman, ma femme et moi, manage to capture the reality of what life was like in the France of the 1950s (…) The movie presents itself as half sweet half sour chronicle (…) The two films struck a chord with the people of the time and arouse nostalgia in those who have known this period and see them today. Papa, maman, ma femme et moi can actually be seen by viewers of any generation (…) This popular comedy deserves to be seen for its excellent cast, its sociological value and its warm but no-nonsense tone. — Guy Bellinger
