MONSIEUR GANGSTER

7:15

Monday, July 25

Starring Lino Ventura

(1963, Georges Lautner) Stuck with fulfilling an old mob boss pal’s dying wish, ex-gangster Ventura has to clean up some loose ends, while watching out for the old man’s about-to-be-married daughter. French comedy super-classic, with still-quoted argot-heavy dialogue keeping the action both suspenseful and parodic. Aka Les Tontons Flingueurs. In French, with English subtitles. 35mm print imported from France especially for this series. Approx 112 mins.
