The feeble beginning made me fear a very bad movie. The main character is dull and the rest of the cast just can't make you forget the studio they are playing in.
Then the Fantasy Night begins and this journey through the night is well paced with funny situations all taking place in bizarre surroundings. There's never a grand scene but on the whole it's entertaining.
Theme overlapping
Maybe the wooden thing in it is the start point with this White Lady the hero uses to dream of. It aims to be poetic whereas the following is mostly a comic adventure. The most interesting focus should have been on this shy guy's behavior as a hero for he thinks he's dreaming. Unfortunately it's not the main theme in La Nuit Fantastique.
Last point: the work on sound is somewhat interesting too for a movie made more than 60 years ago.
