Tit-Coq is a tale of love and the importance of family. 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. When Tit-Coq returns to Montreal, he must accept the fact that he is again alone in the world.[3]
Gélinas' wrote the story as a film script in 1947, but when he had difficulty with the financing he put it on stage. Between 1947 and 1950, it was performed over 500 times in Eastern Canada; it was popular with audiences and critics. This reception led to film financing, and he shot the film as it had appeared on stage. The film was also successful; in its first year, 300,000 people in Quebec saw it and the subtitled English version did well in English Canada.[4] It was released in Britain in 1953.[5]
