Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In French with English subtitles. The title means The Man in the Raincoat.

Directed by Julien Duvivier. The raincoated gent of the title is horse-faced French comedian Fernandel, who plays luckless jazz musician Albert Constantin. Thanks to the chicanery of a slick gangster boss, Albert finds himself up to his ears in murder and treachery. The farcical elements of the film are juxtaposed with moments of startling violence, but in the end laughter wins out. American actor John McGiver, in France to film his supporting role in Billy Wilder's Love in the Afternoon, is herein cast as a pivotal character. L'Homme à l'Impermeable was not officially remade as The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972), though the similarities between the two films are quite pronounced.
