“Yves Montand as an envious and intriguing old scoundrel for whom only money and possession matter; that was quite unexpected.
The film is a masterpiece that finally has a satisfying moral: the scoundrel, who thinks only of taking advantage of others without pity, will get the terrible punishment he deserves when he finds out who he killed! Ditto for his "Galinette" who will become madly in love with Manon, the daughter of the man they murdered in various ways, his grandfather and him; Manon who, knowing the whole truth, will reject him like a bad dog. "Galinette" will only have to draw the consequences of his crimes.
Note that initially, it was Michel Colucci (Coluche) who had been approached by Claude Berri for the role that Daniel Auteuil plays masterfully.
