Saw it once many years ago, and still like it a lot!

I admit it, it's been over twenty years since I saw this movie, I was 7 or 8 years by then and never saw it again. But I still like it a lot! Basically because Fernandel is, as usual, really funny while depicting a character whom you laugh about his misadventures but still you're with him, till the end. Fernandel and another guy enters a theater to watch a western, they left their raincoats side by side and, after the movie ends, they take each other's raincoat. As the other guy is a dangerous man (the Public Enemy no. 1) and was just doing time before he robs a bank, there's a gun in one of his raincoat's pockets. When Fernandel finds it he's in the subway, panic erupts and he is arrested. Problem is that the bad guy's gang decide to help him evade the jail, it seems that they don't who is their 'mysterious boss'. Now Fernandel have to deal with a gang of dangerous men, their real boss (who decides that as long as the police believes that Fernandel is him it's good for his plans), the cops and Lola (Zsa Zsa Gabor).

Even considering that I saw many other Fernandel movies since then, this is one of my favorites.
