The Devil by the Tail
Aw, hell
Directed by Philippe de Broca
Produced by Produzioni Associate Delphos, Fildebroc
A scrappy, irreverent farce built on the absurd premise of a hotel sabotaging cars for profit, escalating into chaos when a bank robber becomes an unwilling guest.
In this comedy, a run-down hotel drums up customers by sabotaging passing cars. The stuck motorists are then obliged to stay. Unfortunately, one of the sabotaged cars belongs to a bank robber. The hotel staff wants the robber out, but they also want to keep his ill-gotten money.
