Séraphin is a Canadian drama film, directed by Paul Gury and released in 1950. A sequel to the 1949 film A Man and His Sin (Un homme et son péché), which was an adaptation of the novel by Claude-Henri Grignon, the film tells the story of Séraphin Poudrier's family and community getting their revenge on him for his miserliness and lack of compassion amid the context of Antoine Labelle's drive to increase the settlement and development of the region.
Hector Charland, Nicole Germain and Guy Provost all reprised their roles as Séraphin, Donalda and Alexis from the first film; the only major change in the core cast was Eddy Tremblay replacing Ovila Légaré as Labelle.
The cast also included Suzanne Avon, Henri Poitras, Antoinette Giroux, Marcel Sylvain, Armand Leguet, Jeannette Teasdale, Camille Ducharme, Eugène Daigneault, J. Léo Gagnon, Lorenzo Bariteau and Alain Boisvert, as well as Grignon himself in a small role as a rebel settler.
