    Storyline

    Edit
    "Le Dabe" retired many years ago and now he lives in the Tropics where he owns stables and horses. He is a very rich man. He was the king of all money counterfeiters. He is contacted from Paris to organize a new job. He says no. But when he finds out the the currency that should be counterfeited is the Dutch florin, he accepts immediately. He retired after having counterfeited 100 florin notes just before the Queen Wilhelmina retired them from circulation. He flies to Paris. But the gang is not to be trusted, at least not all of them. —Baldinotto da Pistoia

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The scenes taking place in South America were in fact shot in Normandy because Jean Gabin refused to go outside France.
    • Goofs
      Even though "Le Dabe" (Gabin) and Lepicard (Blier) travel together back to France from Venezuela, they are getting off different planes, a Boeing 707 and a Sud-Aviation Caravelle, respectively. The Caravelle, a twin-engine aircraft designed for regional service, would have been unsuitable for the long-haul stretch Montevideo - Caracas - Pointe-à-Pitre - Paris as announced on the PA system.
    • Quotes

      Charles Lepicard: Entre-nous Dab, une supposition, je dis bien une supposition, que j'ai un graveur, du papier et que j'imprime pour un milliard de bifton, en admettant, je dis bien que c'est toujours une supposition, en admettant que l'on soit cinq sur l'affaire, cela rapporterait net combien à chacun?

      Ferdinand Maréchal dit 'Le Dabe': 20 ans de placard, les bénéfices cela se divise, la réclusion, cela s'additionne!

      Charles Lepicard: Between us, Dab, an assumption, I mean an assumption, that I have an engraver, paper and that I print for a billion bifton, admitting, I say it is always a supposition, admitting if we are five on the case, how much would it bring to everyone?

      Ferdinand Maréchal dit 'Le Dabe': 20 years of jail, the profits are divided, the sentences add up!

    Great dialogue, great actors
    Le Cave se rebiffe is one of my favorite movies of all times. With an impeccable cast (Jean Gabin, Bernard Blier and Maurice Biraud among others)and an excellent story to go along things can't go anything but right. Add to that the dialogs from Michel Audiard and voilà! a masterpiece.

    This movie contains two of my favorite Audiard one liners, I'll try and translate for non French-speaking members: - About Eric, Jean Gabin says: "If stupidity could be measured, he'd serve as a yardstick for it" - Talking with Maurice Biraud: "To deny your own talents makes it easier for mediocre people to succeed".

    Real funny stuff, but also things to think about.
