The fifties, sixties and seventies decades were the golden years of the French comedy industry. The best years. I usually hate comedies, including French ones, but with those oldies starring the likes of Louis De Funès, Bourvil and Fernandel, no one could be deceived. I first watched them when I was a child, and of course that helps me a lot to love this kind of stuff. I am an old timer and know youngsters who love those oldies too. It is very refreshing. Yves Robert was a specialist of this kind of films; this one is fun, fast paced, never boring. Besides LA TRAVERSEE DE PARIS, this is the most famous film in the Louis De Funès first part of career. Before he became a big star with LE CORNIAUD.
