Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the Les Charlots' first feature after their TV sketch show exploded; the studio rushed it into production in six weeks.
Les Charlots dominated French comedy in the 1970s by being deliberately anti-intellectual—imagine Monty Python if they hated themselves. This film cemented their working-class slapstick formula that spawned seven sequels.
