La valise (1973)

£0.00


Country: FR
Technical: col 95m
Director: Georges Lautner
Cast: Jean-Pierre Marielle, Mireille Darc, Michel Constantin

Synopsis:

Two secret service agents have complicated operational manoeuvres involving a trunk.

Review:

Archetypal French comedy of the 70s: it has an old-fashioned approach to situations, but with the particular touch of scenarist Francis Veber, later to turn director; namely a heavy, but effective, reliance on cuts for comedic effect, and the use of leitmotif in the dialogue and recurrent situations in the story. The leads deliver dead-pan comic performances; particularly delectable is Marielle's 'oeil-yeuil-yeuil...'
