LOUIS DE FUNES, THE KING OF FRENCH COMEDY

Reviled by the critics, crowned by the public

Synopsis

Louis de Funès was acclaimed by the public but reviled by the critics. He finally achieved success at the age of 41.

His 144 films in his 35-year career made him a record holder in cinema admissions and television audiences.

Louis de Funès died in 1983, but his incredible comic talent has not aged a day, and his detractors have made their mea culpa to the spiritual father of French comedy.
