Summary

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. Antoine sets out
to recover his money…
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.
