The Umbrella Coup (French: Le Coup du parapluie) is a 1980 French comedy film directed by Gérard Oury, starring Pierre Richard, Gordon Mitchell and Gert Fröbe. Vladimir Cosma composed the soundtrack.Grégoire Lecomte (Richard), the unlucky actor anxious to find a "real job", goes to take a screen test for a role of a killer, but then he takes a wrong turn and meets a mafia don who he takes for a producer, and they mistake him for a hitman with whom they had an appointment. Deluded Grégoire signs contract with them. He is supposed to kill gun dealer Otto Krampe at his birthday party in Saint-Tropez by piercing him with a cap of the umbrella with a built-in syringe with potassium cyanide (known as a "Bulgarian umbrella"). Grégoire is not aware that it has to be a real murder. | |

Pretty Little Headshots | |
| The Umbrella Coup / int_4ab9c868 | comment |
Pretty Little Headshots: It's a screwball comedy so the gore part is heavily downplayed. We see two headshots, the target at the photo booth and when Sylvette shoots Moskovitz, both merely cause a red spot to appear on the victim's forehead. | |

Shout-Out: Grégoire pretends to everyone that his wife Juliette, a florist, is blind. When his mistress Josyane evicts him from their home, she yells at him: "Florist and blind!? Do you think I never go to the movies?" and he answers "Charlie Chaplin doesn't have a monopoly on blind people". At the end, Vittorio Caprioli says "He made me an offer I couldn't refuse." The mirroring scenes on TV during the umbrella fight are from Le Capitan. | |
