The Sucker (1965) U 04/04/1965 (US) Comedy , Crime 1h 51m. User. Score. What's your Vibe ? Play Trailer. The funniest fraud a fall-guy ever fell for! Overview. In this Frenco-Italian gangster parody, a shop keeper on his way to an Italian holiday suffers a crash which totals his car.
De Funès manic gesticulations coupled with Bourvil's apparent naiveness in a sombre affaire of driving a car loaded with contraband across the Italian border and into France provide a never-ending series of hilarious situations against the 1960's backcloth of carefree life on the Mediterranean.
With its hapless gun-totting villains, scantily dressed female heroines and obvious morally impeccable hero, Le Corniaud is really no more than an unashamed send-up of the American gangster film - but it is done with such charm and apparent spontaneity that it appears fresh and original.
