The Sucker
The funniest fraud a fall-guy ever fell for!
Directed by Gérard Oury
Produced by Les Films Corona, Explorer Film '58
A lighthearted Franco-Italian caper comedy about an ordinary man accidentally swept into a criminal road trip across Europe, driven by mistaken identity and escalating absurdity.
In this Franco-Italian gangster parody, a shopkeeper on his way to an Italian holiday suffers a crash that totals his car. The culprit can only compensate his ruined trip by driving an American friend's car from Naples to Bordeaux, but as it happens to be filled with such contraband as stolen money, jewelry and drugs, the involuntary and unwitting companions in crime soon attract all but recreational attention from the "milieu".
