Les Gros bras
1964 Comedy
Review
Ebullient performances from a likeable cast just about salvage this
lacklustre, poorly directed comedy. There are few good laughs and
what jokes there are become tediously repetitive after a while.
The screenwriters deserve some kind of award for managing to stretch a
threadbare and ludicrous plot about a missing bracelet to a full ninety
minutes when it is apparent there’s barely enough material for a half
hour sitcom. Still, the film has one ace up its sleeve – Francis
Blanche, a superlative French comedian who never fails to elicit a smile.
