Dangerous journey on dark and occupied Paris at night!!
3 January 2020
When I saw this unknown picture on 2014 l stayed impressed by Jean Gabin made a comedy, sounds weird for me, however the duo comic Bourvil and Gabin accept a dangerous endeavor crossing on a dark Paris streets occupied by Nazi forces to delivery a four case of pork meat at black market , also they have avoid the local police, a hard time indeed, at unfolding the story Martin (Bourvil) realize that Grandgil (Jean Gabin) wasn't a wall painter that he early thought, actually is swashbuckler, due he is a famous painter, also has several funniest moments along the journey, those dogs following them by smell of the meet, the old prostitute on the way, Grandgil is a joker, trying convinces Martin selling the meat by themselves, suggesting the cases was really taken by the police, a mix of two genre black comedy and drama, delightful and well-crafted screenplay, this picture deserves my respect to be unusual and fresh, the final scene is compelling and touching, the life began again in already free France, awesome French picture!!
