La bourse et la vie

Jean-Pierre Mocky was a very prolific filmmaker, director, writer, actor. His absolute masterpiece, in my humble opinion, is a film with Bourvil that I have seen countless times, "Heaven Sent" (1963) Un drôle de paroissien (original title). This "La bourse et la vie" it's a beginning movie, a comedy so light that you don't laugh at all. Fernandel, a quintessential comedian, struggles, the script doesn't help him at all. The great French actor Michel Galabru appears in a small role. Marilù Tolo, a beauty from the '60s, an honorable actress, also appears in a small role.
