La Traversée de Paris (1956)

Poster for La Traversée de Paris

JEAN GABIN and BOURVIL in a REMARKABLE FRENCH FILM with suspense predominating of course - but also much more than just a soupcon of laughter!

Two unlikely companions must smuggle four suitcases filled with contraband pork across Nazi-occupied Paris.
