La Traversée de Paris (The trip across Paris) is a 1956 French film directed by Claude Autant-Lara and written by Jean Aurenche, Pierre Bost and Michel Audiard. It stars Bourvil, Jean Gabin and Louis de Funès, and is based on the short story La traversée de Paris by Marcel Aymé.The film is set in Paris in 1942, during the German Occupation. Two men, Marcel Martin (Bourvil), a former taxi driver, and Grandgil (Gabin), a painter, defy the curfew to deliver an important load of pork meat across the city by foot in the dead of the night, on behalf of Black Market grocer Monsieur Jambier (De Funès).The film competed at the 17th Venice International Film Festival, where Bourvil won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor. The cynical portrayal of the Occupation was very unconventional for the time and made the film controversial upon initial release a mere decade after the war. | |

Black Market | |
| The Trip Across Paris / int_327b5216 | comment |
Black Market: The war and Occupation have caused a shortage of goods in big cities such as Parisnote countryside villages were better off for obvious reasons (farming), although Germans tended to ransack them, and meat in particular. It's a heyday for clandestine grocers such as Jambier, and smuggling goods is extremely dangerous due to both the French police and patrols of German soldiers. | |

Gratuitous German | |
| The Trip Across Paris / int_35fb9016 | comment |
Gratuitous German: As Marcel and Grandgil have to cross over a place with two French policemen, Grandgil starts speaking in German to Marcel (reciting Heinrich Heine's 1827 poem "Mir träumt’: ich bin der liebe Gott") so the French policemen will think they're Germans (not knowing what Grandgil says) and leave them alone. It works like a charm. | |

Deus ex Machina: In the end, Marcel and other prisoners are taken off by the Germans because a German colonel was murdered by La Résistance. He thinks that he will be summarily executed in retaliation for the murder. The epilogue shows that he survives and does not tell us how. | |

Slobs Versus Snobs: Marcel, an unemployed taxi driver who resorts to dangerous odd jobs to survive, constantly quarrel with Grandgil, a rich and famous painter. In particular, Marcel is outraged when he realizes that Grandgil is rich and that he carried the meat with him just because it amused him. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| The Trip Across Paris / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Grandgil throws an epic one to a couple of unpleasant bartenders after he finds out they both can potentially denounce he and Marcel to the police and they employ a Jewish girl as a house slave of sorts. His rant extends to the bar's patrons, whom he famously calls "Salauds de pauvres!" ("bastard poor persons", literally). | |

Nervous Wreck: Jambier, though he has reasons to be nervous given how dangerous for his business Grandgil turns out to be. It helps that he was played by Louis de Funès, who would grow into a master of this trope for French cinema in the following years. | |

Ham-to-Ham Combat | |
| The Trip Across Paris / int_eb0df85e | comment |
Ham-to-Ham Combat: Bonus point for involving literal ham. In Jambier's basement storehouse, Grandgil finds out the load of pork he and Marcel have to smuggle throughout Paris is quite heavy and thus demands a substantial increase of his salary to Jambier, who refuses categorically. Grandgil then starts shouting Jambier's name and his address loudly and repeatedly, which makes everyone freak out as it could attract French police or German patrols. Jambier keeps refusing as loud as he can before giving up. Jean Gabin probably never went hammier than this, and Louis de Funès didn't have much trouble keeping up. | |
