Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Brain (Le Cerveau in French) is a 1969 French heist comedy film directed by Gérard Oury and starring David Niven, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Bourvil and Eli Wallach.Two clumsy French thieves, Anatole (Bourvil) and Arthur (Belmondo), plan a spectacular heist: the attack of a freight train which carries secret NATO funds from Paris to Brussels. What they don't know is that another, much more manned and well-equipped team is planning the same thing. That team performed the Glasgow-London Great Train Robbery and is headed by Colonel Carol Matthews a.k.a. "The Brain" (Niven), a British criminal mastermind, who has also a deal with Frankie Scannapieco (Wallach), a Sicilian gangster.Not to be confused with the 1988 sci-fi film of the same name about an actual literal brain.

The Caper: Two separate groups of thieves try to rob the same train at the same time, while a third just waits to take advantage of its results.

Banana in the Tailpipe: Done to Colonel Matthews' car, with a dry sausage. As a result, when the car starts up, the whole exhaust system blows up and breaks away, forcing Matthews to use Arthur's taxi.
