La part des lions

A short prologue shows two men visiting an old one,in a retiring-home.They remember the war,when their parents (Jews) were deported : he welcomed both of them into his home and they became blood brothers.

Producer/director Sergio Gobbi is not particular about details and it's not him who has given Robert Hossein or Aznavour who have often worked with him ,their best parts ("Maldonne" "Le Temps Des Loups" "Un Beau Monstre" "Les Intrus" ))Directed by Jean Lariaga ,but produced by Gobbi himself ,"La Part Des Lions" has an absurd starting point:an educated man,who just won a literary prize (Aznavour ) comes to his "brother"'s rescue for a break-in.It takes a lot of imagination to believe that this man -take a look at his library in his apartment- can rub shoulders with sinister thieves .The rest is business as usual,a routine gangsters movie which the average user has seen a hundred times or more .
