L'Arche De Noe on AllMovie

The title of this French domestic comedy translates as Noah's Ark, but there's nothing remotely Biblical about the film. Much of the action takes place aboard a ramshackle houseboat, owned by a very large family. The fun begins when an "outsider" falls in love with one of the family members. Based on a novel by Albert Paraz, L'Arche de Noe bears a slight resemblance to the 1944 Hollywood film Sunday Dinner for a Soldier. Many of its comic situations would resurface in the 1958 Cary GrantSophia Loren vehicle Houseboat.
