Featured reviews
Dialogs were from Michel AUDIARD, but you must listen them in French.
It's theses dialogs which have made the notoriety of this movie. Five great actors are these "Monsieur GANGSTER" (Lino Ventura, Francis Blanche, Robert Dalban, Bernard Blier and Jean Lefebvre).
The greatest scene is when these five gangsters are drinking alcohol in the kitchen.
It's one of the funniest movies I've seen. If you don't speak french, it's more difficult to understand dialogs because translation is often different that original language.
Forty year later, I love always this film "cult".
Excuse me for my poor English.
