The Umbrella Coup

1980 · 1 hr 38 mins

Grégoire Lecomte, the unlucky actor anxious to find a "real job", goes to take a screen test for a role of a killer, but gets to mafiosi by mistake. He takes their don for a producer, and they mistake him for a hitman with whom they had an appointment. Deluded Lecomte signs contract with them. He is supposed to kill gun dealer Otto Krampe at his birthday party in Saint-Tropez by piercing him with a cap of the umbrella with a built-in syringe with potassium cyanide. Lecomte is not aware that it has to be a real murder.

Director: Gérard Oury

Cast: Pierre Richard, Valérie Mairesse, Christine Murillo, Gérard Jugnot, Gordon Mitchell
