"Little Rooster") is a Canadian film, directed by René Delacroix and Gratien Gélinas, and released in 1952.
It tells the story of Arthur Saint-Jean, a shy, awkward French-Canadian soldier with an irreverent sense of humour and a volatile temper, which is how he earned the nickname 'Tit-Coq'.
He is a lonely, unhappy man until he falls in love with Marie-Ange, the sister of his friend Jean-Paul.
When he is sent overseas to fight during World War II, Marie-Ange promises to wait for him, but she marries another man.
[3] Gélinas' wrote the story as a film script in 1947, but when he had difficulty with the financing he put it on stage.
