The Vocation of André Carel (French: La vocation d'André Carel) is a 1925 French-Swiss silent comedy drama film directed by Jean Choux and starring Stéphane Audel, Blanche Montel and Michel Simon. It was shot at the Cité Elgé Studios in Paris and on location in the Alpine resort towns of Evian and Montreux in Switzerland. It is also known by the alternative title La Puissance du travail. It was the director's debut film, and also featured an early screen appearance from Simon who would go on to be a mainstay of French cinema over the following decades.
