Who Stole the Body?

About This Movie

Who Stole the Body? is this quirky little comedy that merges the mundane world of real estate with the bizarre element of a corpse. Edouard and Félix, our somewhat hapless protagonists, find themselves in a darkly humorous predicament as they attempt to close a deal with a peculiar Englishwoman. The pacing is quite loose, favoring situational hijinks and the absurdity of dragging a body around rather than any conventional plot urgency. It’s the kind of film where the atmosphere relies on awkward encounters and clever physical comedy. The performances are engaging, with a distinct charm that reflects the offbeat humor of the era. There's a certain oddity that makes it stand out amid the more standard comedies of its time.

This film isn't exactly mainstream, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. The scarcity of physical formats, particularly in good condition, adds to its allure. It often pops up in discussions among aficionados of vintage comedies, though it hasn't reached the cult status of some contemporaries. If you find a copy, it’s worth considering for a more eclectic collection.
