I have a Jew at Continental.
And communist, too.
1:05:05
I know it. He doesn't know I know.
1:05:09
Just one film, Aurenche. A comedy.
1:05:12
You know how to write gags.
1:05:14
I'll have Fernandel in 3 months.
He'll direct.
1:05:18
It's called Adrien.
A Jean de Letraz hit.
1:05:21
But those kind of plays...
1:05:25
Just what I loathe.
1:05:28
As for Fernandel...
1:05:30
He's a gag factory, a walking gag.
1:05:34
Where would I fit in? I'd ruin it all.
1:05:58
Rene!
1:06:00
Rene Wheeler!
1:06:04
Selling shoelaces?
1:06:06
Not by choice. I have to eat.
1:06:10
I don't sell any so I don't eat.
1:06:17
I just turned down a film.
A piece of crap.
1:06:20
I can accept it for you.
You write and collect.
1:06:23
There are bad points.
Director and star: Fernandel.
1:06:26
For Continental, the Fritz.
1:06:29
Eat with the devil, at least you eat.
1:06:33
Is that cop here to monitor the gags?
1:06:37
I've had this idea
I wanted to do with you.
1:06:40
A story about river poachers.
1:06:43
A totally free narrative.
1:06:46
- Shot entirely on location.
- Which region?
1:06:49
The Rhone. Simple people.
1:06:51
Anarchists, extravagant as we like them.
1:06:54
Well, Aurenche!
1:06:57
I'm not fickle, but when I left...
