Les Cracks
1968 Comedy
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.
