Summary
In the early 1900s, Jules Auguste Duroc has invented a revolutionary
new bicycle which he hopes will make his fortune. Unfortunately,
he has managed to bankrupt himself before he can profit from his
invention. When the over-zealous bailiff Léon Charles
Mulot calls at his shop, Duroc makes a hasty retreat on his bicycle,
and ends up at the starting line of the Paris to San Remo cycle
race. The adventure has only just begun!
Review
French comedy giant Bourvil surpasses himself in this hilarious madcap
chase film, the kind of film that was hugely popular in the mid-1960s -
other notable examples include The
Great Race (1965) and Monte Carlo and Bust (in which
Bourvil had a small part). Replete with visual gags – some of
which are worthy of the great Buster Keaton – Les Cracks is unflagging escapist
fun with guarantees a fair quantity of laughs.
