Tit-Coq is a Canadian film, directed by René Delacroix and Gratien Gélinas, and released in 1952. Based on the theatrical play by Gélinas, the film stars Gélinas as Tit-Coq ("Little Rooster"), a soldier who returns home from World War II to discover that his girlfriend married another man.
The film's cast also includes Juliette Béliveau, Denise Pelletier and Jean Duceppe.
The film won the Canadian Film Award for Film of the Year in 1953. Gélinas was so moved by the victory that he began to cry during his acceptance speech, and presenter Dorothy Lamour pulled the handkerchief out of his suit pocket and began to dab at his eyes as he spoke.
A restored print of the film was screened at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival, before going into a limited run at repertory theatres.
