Sort of a French THE STING. It should appeal to a much wider audience than the average French movie. The production does not have the usual French intellectual aspirations. It does have an American sense of movie-as-escape and a very affectionate view of its all-too-human characters. I give it 3.5/4. The subtitles are well done, and there is enough time to read them, so a non-French speaker can follow the dialogue without distraction. -- ---- David Landskov University of Lowell, Lowell MA Currently at {ut-sally, akgua}!usl!dll But whatever happened to stories in the movies?
