Synopsis
Ghost with Driver (Fantôme avec chauffeur, 1996) is a French fantasy comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Gérard Oury and starring Philippe Noiret and Gérard Jugnot. A billionaire is strangled by his business partner. His chauffeur is shot by hired killers the same afternoon. Both men linger on as ghosts.
The perks are genuine: walls are no obstacle, Paris is navigable in an instant. The problem is that ghosts cannot reach the living — and there is plenty of reaching to do. The industrialist's son is being swindled. His widow has moved on. The murderer walks free. Two men who shared nothing in life end up an unlikely pair in death, working out how to send a message to a world that cannot hear them.
Oury made landmark French comedies through the 1960s and 70s, and this late film has the ease of someone fully inside the genre — no straining, no proving anything, just the craft. Stream Ghost with Driver online on iFILM.
