A bank robber hides in a civil servant's flat — what could possibly go wrong with THAT plan?
Émile and Fredo are two crooks who have just committed an armed robbery in a Paris bank. To escape the police, Émile, accompanied by his friend Lulu, takes refuge in the apartment of Antoine Perrin, a peaceful civil servant at the Ministry of Agriculture and amateur musician with the group Les Joyeux Colibris. Lulu offers to seduce him in order to prevent him from getting hit on the coffee pot.
Acting
Bourvil's anxious everyman vs. Bruno's scene-stealing seductress.
Writing
Witty theatrical dialogue from its stage play origins.
Director
Roland Bailly
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adapted from a successful Parisian boulevard play, which explains the single-apartment setting and theatrical timing.
Bourvil was France's beloved everyman comic — imagine Bob Hope with more pathos and less smarm.
