Sganarelle is a wealthy man of sixty-four who proposes to Dorimène, a flirtatious young woman in her teens. But as second thoughts assail him, he consults with his friend Geronimo, a couple of philosophers, and even a pair of fortune-tellers. Convinced that he will become the butt of marital infidelity, he struggles to break off the engagement—until Dorimène’s brother gives him a sound beating, which persuades him to finish what he has started. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (French, 71 minutes)
