What they share

Both films are directed by Gérard Oury, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Umbrella Coup is

A French farce that makes very little sense, but tries its best. An actor looking for work is mistaken for a hitman, and hired to kill a gun dealer with a poisoned umbrella. Chaos, of course, ensues. It's hard to fault a film this committed to being daft.
