Le Gentleman d'Epsom ("The Gentleman from Epsom") is a 1962 French-Italian comedy film directed by Gilles Grangier. Michel Audiard wrote the dialogues.Richard-Briand Chamery (Jean Gabin), a.k.a "the Commander", is a Con Man who cheats people out of their money by selling them bad tips at horse races. Finding himself down on his luck, he targets an irate but enthusiastic race-goer named Gaspard Ripeux (Louis de Funès), who also owns a luxurious restaurant, for his next con... but things don't quite go as planned.Gabin and De Funès were paired again in The Tattoo six years later.

Angry Chef: Gaspard Ripeux's Establishing Character Moment is him berating his staff for not delivering an outstanding service. Even funnier, this is shot from "The Commandant" and Charly's point of view and we only see Ripeux miming his anger with cartoonish sounds.

Rags to Riches: An off comment seems to imply Gaspard Ripeux came from a very modest family of Auvergne before becoming a Restaurateur.

Professional Butt-Kisser: As always, De Funès as Ripeux is over-the-top slimy to his customers and odious towards his employees. Especially visible when "The Commandant" happens to be knowledgeable in horse racing.
