Good comedy, 19 April 2001
Author: LeRoyMarko from Toronto, Canada

With Bourvil, Jean Gabin and Louis de Funès, this movie almost had to be a good comedy. And it was funny. The three actors all give solid performances. The movie is about two guys (Bourvil and Gabin) who travel through Paris at night to deliver some black market meat during WWII.

Out of 100, I gave it 73.
