Wednesday, 09 June 1999 - 01:07 am | | Slightly misleading to include this here; the
character played by Jean-Louis Barrault isn't
really Jack, although he does kill people (all
butchers - he's an animal-lover). Still, it's a
wonderful film, one of the greatest French
comedies, set in a very strange version of London,
with a cast that includes almost every major
French actor of the period, including Michel
Simon,
and Louis Jouvet as a married priest (an idea
which the French find terribly bizarre) |
