Review: The last part of my box with Georges Lautner movies. After Les tontons flingueurs and Les barbouzes, this movie keeps the same recipe to put gangsters in such situations that they can only be ridiculous and hilarious.  This story is more complex than the two other movies. At least more things happen. The movie makes fun of the trendiness of Great Britain in the 70s, for the clothes and the music. And actually it uses the best of this trendy stuff to bring very funny scenes in the story. The club of british gangsters are continuously wearing hats and uniforms. And they play guitar! On the other side, the conservative Frenchies take care of their looser companions, of their friends, they like fine food and drinks. There are some running gags that never fail: the guitars, the hats, the slaps to Michalon. The acting is quite good. Lino Ventura plays one typical character for him. Michel Constantin and Mireille Darc are very good in their roles.  In the cinematorgraphy, the visuals and the cut, Georges Lautner improved a lot since Les tontons flingueurs . Ne nous fâchons pas! does not get better than this movie only because Les tontons flingueurs were for me the first hilarious comedy with gangsters. I have to investigate in other directors of the 20s and 30s to be sure about it.
