The crossing of Paris
( La traversée de Paris )Release date 1956 82 min Comedy
During the Occupation, Martin, a decent chap, is out of work and agrees to lug four suitcases stuffed with pork joints across Paris. Since his usual partner has been arrested, he asks a stranger called Grandgil to help him out. But the guy is out of control and their route becomes fraught with danger. As the trek comes to an end, Martin learns that Grandgil is a famous artist who was just in search of a bit of adventure. They both get arrested, but Martin is the only one who pays dearly for their excursion.
