Plot.

Filmed in French, this Canadian film was based on a popular Quebec-based radio serial. The man of the title is miserable miser Seraphim (Hector Charland). Misanthropic to the point of insanity, Seraphim takes great pleasure in destroying the lives of everyone with whom he comes in contact. His current target is Alexis (Guy Provost), the ex-lover of Seraphim's long-suffering wife Donalda (Nicole Germain). Taking into consideration its daytime-drama source, it's understandable that Un Homme et Son Peche is plotted and paced like a soap opera. Star Hector Charland had previously spent 10 years portraying Seraphim on radio, so he's got plenty of "mean" at his disposal for this big-screen spin-off.

Wiki.

A Man and His Sin (French: Un homme et son péché) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Paul Gury and released in 1949. Adapted from Claude-Henri Grignon's 1933 novel Un homme et son péché, the film stars Hector Charland as Séraphin Poudrier, the wealthy but miserly mayor of the village of Sainte-Adèle, Quebec, Nicole Germain as Donalda Laloge, a village resident who was given in marriage to Séraphin as payment for a family debt even though she is actually in love with her boyfriend Alexis Labranche (Guy Provost), and Ovila Légaré as the village priest Antoine Labelle.

However, the film did not replicate the plot of the original novel, in which Séraphin's miserliness led directly to Donalda's death; instead, it tells a story in which Séraphin loans Alexis $200 to buy a farm, but then uses his power to prevent Alexis from getting a job to repay him so that Alexis will remain indebted and under Séraphin's control.The cast also included Henri Poitras, Suzanne Avon, Adjutor Bouré, Eugène Daigneault, Arthur Lefebvre, Armand Leguet, George Alexander, Juliette Béliveau, Julien Lippé, Lucien Martin, Camille Ducharme, Paul Guèvremont, Georges Toupin and Conrad Gauthier.

A sequel film, Séraphin, was released the following year with most of the same cast.
