Let's Rob the Bank
1964 · 88 MIN · IMDB 6.7 · 2,736 VOTES · DIR. Jean Girault
Overview
Shopkeeper Victor Garnier has naively invested his family's life savings in an African mine, on his banker's recommendation. When the mine is nationalized, rendering the stock worthless, he considers himself shamelessly robbed by the bank; it seems only fair to him to return the 'favor' and rob the bank, teaming up with the whole family as they were all duped. Even for professionals such an enterprise -he decides to dig a tunnel- is quite demanding, but for simple commoners it's daunting, as they also have their personal downsides; thus Victor's wife has a most unwelcome tendency to blurt out the truth, even to the grumpy local copper: a crazy risk when you need to keep a criminal plan secret.

00:01:08 VICTOR GARNIER FISHING AND HUNTING
00:06:09 How are you? -Mr Durand-Mareuil.
00:09:12 A man comes to you... with bad intentions. He betrays your trust...
00:12:43 With an umbrella, I suppose? That trick's really old.
00:16:07 I'd jump for a date in spring or a watery November sun.
00:18:34 But have you checked the walls?
00:21:14 At least. -That's a lot, Victor.
00:24:44 It's not broken. -Keep your hands off it.
00:28:43 Sit down there.
00:31:50 She's reached puberty. Why are you here?
00:34:06 Nice to meet you, but now I have to go.
00:38:03 Does that sound like a duck? -We'll solve this right away.
00:40:31 On the head. -On the tail.
00:43:46 We forgot something important.
00:48:17 I have nothing to lose, so why not?
00:51:19 Or I'll throw some coal at you. You have no business there.
00:54:08 Is everything ready? -Yes. Three loads.
00:58:52 The last wildflowers of the season. I hope she'll like them.
01:02:50 Shall we tell the police? -What do you want with the police?
01:05:54 I'm only interested in big fish.
01:08:36 And you come here to accuse me. Show me your number.
01:12:35 Watch your fingers. -Hello. You're almost there.
01:15:05 This is theft. -Yes, but you've robbed us.
01:22:10 We've both got nothing to win. Do we? Well.
