Two unlikely companions, the straight-laced Martin (Andre Bourvil, Le Cercle Rouge) and the bombastic Grandgil (Jean Gabin, Touchez Pas au Grisbi), must smuggle four suitcases filled with contraband pork across Nazi-occupied Paris. While Martin tries to make it through with workmanlike efficiency, Grandgil seems to create—and subsequently surmount—obstacles for the fun of it. Adapted from Marcel Aymé’s short story “The Trip Across Paris,” this rarely-seen French gem, which premiered in Paris just about a decade removed from the actual occupation, has also been known over the years as Four Bags Full and A Pig Across Paris.
