Fantasia Chez les Ploucs (1971)

Fantasia Chez les Ploucs (1971, FRA/ITA/EGY) C-81m. SCOPE *** D: Gérard Pires. Starring Lino Ventura, Mireille Darc, Jean Yanne, Jacques Dufilho, Georges Demestre, Luigi Bonos, Nanni Loy, Rufus, Alain Delon. Crazy farce set and filmed in the United States. Ventura, constantly fooling the sheriff and his bumbling deputies, is running an illegal destillery. Yanne comes to visit his old buddy with his son, and they soon make the acquaintance of super-sexy Darc, who is wearing part of her gangster-lover's latest loot: A bikini slip made entirely out of diamonds. Free-wheeling satire on the American way of life is the stuff cult movies are made of: Creative direction by Pires (TAXI), loose star performances and its extra-madness make it a joy to watch. Claude Miller (MORTELLE RANDONNEE) coscripted and did some second unit directing. Aldo Lado (MALASTRANA) was assistant director. English title: FANTASIA AMONG THE SQUARES.
