Nemo's Bank (French: La banque Nemo) is a 1934 French comedy film directed by Marguerite Viel and starring Victor Boucher, Mona Goya and René Bergeron.[1] The film is based on a 1931 play of the same name, but also has strong similarities to the Stavisky Affair which took place the year the film was released.
