Le coup du parapluie (1980)

 English title: The Umbrella Coup

An actor, due an address mistake, thinks he is auditioning for a role when he is actually being hired as a killer. Concurrently, he has troubles with his girlfriends.

Very conventional yet also very well done comedy of errors which entertains provided one is not looking for anything terribly innovative or intellectually stimulating. The best -- or at any rate most curious -- joke is when the protagonist, while pretending to be blind, refers to a nose he discerns by touch as "anti-semitic".

Rating: 40
