Country: FR
Technical: bw 92m
Director: Jean-Pierre Mocky
Cast: Bourvil, Jean Poiret, Francis Blanche, Jean Yonnel, Jean Tissier
Synopsis:
A down-at-heel aristocratic family that refuses the concept of labour has sold all its furnishings and is on the point of eviction when the scion of the family puts into action widescale pilfering of church collection boxes as a means of subsistence.
Review:
A peculiarly French version of such contemporary British comedy such as Heavens Above or The Big Job (French churches of course have a separate collection for each of their saints), this derives its sparkiness from a tautly written script and spirited playing, but is pretty silly and blunt as satire goes.
