Clérambard is a 1969 French comedy film directed by Yves Robert and starring Philippe Noiret, Dany Carrel and Lise Delamare. It is based on the by Marcel Aymé. Set in France shortly before 1914, it tells the story of an impoverished aristocrat who undergoes a religious conversion and, abandoning his ancestral castle, takes his family to live like gypsies.
==Plot== In a crumbling medieval castle, the penniless Count of Clérembard tyrannises his wife, his son Octave, and his mother-in-law. Their only income comes from knitting and selling pullovers, and their only meat from what the Count can shoot in the vicinity. The local lawyer, Galuchon, offers to pay off the Count's vast debts if Octave will marry the eldest of his three daughters: the youngest is a beauty, the next pretty, and the eldest a fright. While the Count is ready to grab this solution to his problems, Octave rebels. Though he has never been able to afford her, he is in love with La Langouste, the town's prostitute.
