This is a charming delightful comedy about 2 escaped convicts posing as Priests aboard a hi-jacked airliner.
Now this is a 1976 film & plane hi-jacking's were more prevalent..
What makes this film a must see is the cast.
A few months after this was released the immortal actor Jean Gabin passed away. He was a major actor of French Cinema & stage for over 40 years. Check a few of his films out & you will see why he still is so remembered.
Like Spencer Tracy of American film fame he was able to express every possible emotion.
Jean-Claude Briely (also one of France's most beloved actors co-stars.
The luminous, beautiful Danielle Darrieux is also featured., She just had her 92 nd birthday & is still active in film & Television, She only has been active since the early 1930's.
What an actress, What a career.
There are some production problems in the film, The acting by this fine cast & the clever plotting over come its faults.
Ratings: *** (out of 4) 89 points (out of 100) IMDb 8 (out of 10)
