The Brain

(1969)Directed by Gérard Oury115 min · PGCrime, Comedy
“The Brain has rocked the world with laughter!”

Arthur Lespinasse (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and his partner Anatole (Bourvil) are small-time French crooks who have set their sights on a special train carrying money from Paris to Brussels. Gérard Oury crowds the job with other hands, among them David Niven as Colonel Matthews, a British officer who is secretly a criminal mastermind, and Eli Wallach as a Sicilian mafioso. All of them want the same cargo, and nobody has told the little robbers.
