Cop Au Vin

A splendid film which is a simple idea of a mother and her son trying to hold on to her house with several people trying to get it away from them. Although it is a bit more than some of them can imagine in a small village. The son is the postman and can get at the letters as well as getting around some of those who want the house. It gets much more complicated, and funny. The wonderful performance by Jean Poiret as the laconic Detective Inspector who has very unusual methods including violence and sure he can do anything he wants, and being very clever. It is interesting and exciting throughout, and especially the wonderful part by Stephane Audran and an excellent denouement still smiling during the credits.
