Montage of lawyer's presentation for the defense.

Les Deux Timides

Les Deux Timides is a French film, René Clair’s last silent feature, which hops back and forth between drawing room farce and slapstick. A shy young lawyer accidentally helps to get a wife-beating thug what’s coming to him, and when the thug finishes his prison sentence he finds that his wife has died and the lawyer has fallen in love with a girl. So he naturally courts the girl himself – her and her shy elderly father. With two shy protectors, how will Cecile escape disaster?
