Blague dans le coin

Blague dans le coin is a 1963 French comedy-crime film directed by Maurice Labro. The cast is led by Fernandel and Perrette Pradier, with supporting appearances by François Maistre, Jacques Monod, Nancy Holloway, Billy Kearns and Dominique Zardi, among others. Labro co-wrote the screenplay with Gerd Karlick, and the picture runs about 100 minutes. Blending humor with criminal intrigue, it follows a large ensemble through a comic story touched by the underworld, a typical mixture for French popular cinema of the period. The film premiered in France in 1963 and was later released in other territories under localized titles, such as "Lauter Leichen in Las Vegas" in Germany and "Panico entre los gángsters" in Spain. It stands as one of Labro's lighter works, pairing a veteran comic lead with a broad cast of character actors and mixing crime-film conventions with farcical situations.
