Summary
Amédée Lucas is a naïve young man who scrapes a meagre living by selling
betting tips to horse racing addicts. A well-dressed gentleman, Olivier Parker,
discards his tips and offers to show him how he can make much more money as a confidence
trickster. Parker’s next victim is Ferdinan Galiveau, a wealthy poultry farmer who
falls easily under the conman’s influence...
Review
Although somewhat dated, Courte tête is
an engaging comedy which still has some entertainment value despite its lethargic pace
and implausible comic situations. Louis de Funès makes a few appearances
in the film (in various disguises) and it goes without saying that his contributions are
the most memorable. French film buffs may be interested to know that Jacques Deray
and Georges Lautner both worked on this film as assistant directors, not long before they
both established themselves as film directors of no mean talent.
