For hit man Ralf Milan (Lino Ventura), the job sounded simple: Check into a high-rise hotel, pick off a state’s witness as he entered the courthouse below. Unfortunately, he got the room next to cuckolded and suicidal shirt salesman François Pignon (Jacques Brel, in his screen farewell)--whom he now has to talk down before he brings a swarm of cops. Édouard Molinaro’s dark farce, adapted by Francis Veber from his stage play, co-stars Caroline Cellier, Jean-Pierre Darras. AKA: "L’Emmerdeur." 85 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
