Neither Seen Nor Recognized

Neither Seen Nor Recognized (Ni vu… Ni connu…, 1958) is a French comedy starring Louis de Funès you can watch online on iFILM. The sleepy town of Montpaillard has exactly one troublemaker — a wily poacher named Blaireau.

Blaireau holds a permit to sell mushrooms, but fish pays better, so he poaches by night and moves his catch on the quiet. The local gendarme does everything he can to catch the rascal and ends up the fool every single time. Then someone attacks the officer, suspicion lands squarely on Blaireau, and a harmless game of cat-and-mouse spirals into real chaos.

Yves Robert directs a breezy small-town tall tale, with de Funès already firing off the twitchy, simmering exasperation that would soon make him a star. Old-fashioned farce, light and warm. Watch Neither Seen Nor Recognized (1958) online on iFILM.
