Banana Peel

Career Award Marcel Ophüls

This rarely seen “engaging comedy” about con-artists who cheat a millionaire out of his money was Marcel Ophüls’s first feature film, and perhaps, in hindsight, it reflects the importance of “the comic” in his approach to life. The film stars Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Gert Fröbe.
