Skylark (French: Adémaï aviateur) is a 1934 French comedy film directed by Jean Tarride and starring Noël-Noël, Fernandel and Junie Astor.[1][2] The character of Adémaï had previously appeared in short films but this was his first feature-length appearance.[3] He subsequently appeared in the historical comedy Adémaï in the Middle Ages in 1935.
Synopsis
Adémaï has joined the French Air Force, but during some leave he finds himself unwillingly engaged to a farmer's daughter. To try and escape this he has himself transferred to pilot training. However Méchelet, the man he mistakenly believes is his training instructor, in fact knows no more about flying than he does. Fearing to try and land the two keep flying, breaking a world record in the process.
