Review
Ne nous fachons pas photo
After the remarkable success of his earlier comedy thriller, Les Tontons flingeurs (1963), director Georges Lautner repeats the winning formula in his 1966 film, Ne nous fâchons pas.  Lino Ventura and Jean Lefebvre again turn in some fine comic-dramatic performances in a film that is really little more than a reprise of Les Tontons flingeurs.  This is nonetheless a entertaining film which benefits from a hilarious script by Michel Audiard.
