1. – Heinz Rühmann, La bourse et la vie (US: Your Money Or Your Life), France, 1966. Three years earlier, Fernandel refused to have anything to do with the New Wave. Now,the battle of Jean-Pierre Mocky (a new waver before la nouevlle vauge) was to find anyone with guts enough to co-star with the notorious scene stealer.. De Funes was unavailable (or scared), Bourvil (who subbed Fernandel in Mocky’s previous script) refused, Robert Lamoureux changed his mind. German money in the budget led to a comeback for Rühmann… and a German hit for a French flop.
