Synopsis
The Tattoo (Le Tatoué, 1968) — watch this French comedy online on iFILM. Directed by Denys de La Patellière, the film pairs two giants of French cinema: Jean Gabin, all granite composure, and Louis de Funès, running his usual comedic hurricane. The setup is deliberately absurd — a scheming antique dealer, Félicien Mézère, spots what his trained eye recognises as a Modigliani. Tattooed onto the back of a retired army officer.
Mézère offers any price for the skin, literally. Major Legrand throws him out. Then, reluctantly, agrees — with one condition attached. What follows is a road-trip odd-couple comedy built entirely on the clash between those two screen personalities. De Funès at full velocity, Gabin immovable: a combination that produces more laughs than most films twice the length. Stream The Tattoo (1968) on iFILM.
