Rene Wheeler!
1:06:04
Selling shoelaces?
1:06:06
Not by choice. I have to eat.
1:06:10
I don't sell any so I don't eat.
1:06:17
I just turned down a film.
A piece of crap.
1:06:20
I can accept it for you.
You write and collect.
1:06:23
There are bad points.
Director and star: Fernandel.
1:06:26
For Continental, the Fritz.
1:06:29
Eat with the devil, at least you eat.
1:06:33
Is that cop here to monitor the gags?
1:06:37
I've had this idea
I wanted to do with you.
1:06:40
A story about river poachers.
1:06:43
A totally free narrative.
1:06:46
- Shot entirely on location.
- Which region?
1:06:49
The Rhone. Simple people.
1:06:51
Anarchists, extravagant as we like them.
1:06:54
Well, Aurenche!
1:06:57
I'm not fickle, but when I left...
1:07:00
You know what Napoleon said?
1:07:02
Rene Wheeler, a first-class writer.
Take him and we'll be a team.
1:07:07
What did our friend Napoleon say?
1:07:09
It'll come back to me.
Rene's free as of now...
1:07:13
He knows it's Fernandel in front
and behind the camera.
1:07:16
Fernandel's ideas, gags, the works.
1:07:20
He talks so I'll say yes
without thinking.
1:07:23
But still, I'm thinking.
1:07:26
And I say yes anyway.
1:07:28
Go up and see Marcel Bryau,
1:07:30
who's in charge of contracts.
1:07:32
Don't go. I'll see you in a minute.
1:07:36
"Patience and time
accomplish more than force and rage."
1:07:41
That's it.
1:07:42
Have a good day.
1:07:43
Come along.
1:07:49
So it's Fernandel.
1:07:51
Your timing of the Tourneur film
was perfect!
1:07:55
Only a 17-second difference
with the final cut.
1:07:58
Do the same on Ladies' Delight.
You'll work with Cayatte.
