Trivia
The very unusual, almost "Bondian" tone of the score by Raymond Lefebvre, was strongly suggested by the American part of the production.

hilarious, overbearing, hysterical

this is one of my all-time favourites. my love of louis de funés dates back to my childhood - i grew up with him bickering out of the tv set. of all his films, "jo" remains my favourite along with "l'aile et la cuisse". both are equally excellent in terms of situation comedy, dialogue and plot. they're even good in the german overdub, for heaven's sake!

the story of "jo" revolves around a playwright (of whodunnits) who has to hide a corpse from his wife and everyone else. in trying to keep his secret, he undergoes the funniest mishaps. go for "jo"!

p.s.: excellent supporting cast, too!
