Summary

One-time gangster Antoine Beretto is now enjoying a peaceful retirement on the coast, where he manages a successful boating club. One day, he receives a visit from one of his former accomplices who asks him for a substantial loan. The money will be rapid by a crook named Michalon, who is now in hiding in Nice.

Review

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.
