In La Ch\u00e8vre, French comedy writing sensation Francis Veber (The Dinner GameThe Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe, La Cage aux Folles) first teamed Tall Blond\u2019s Pierre Richard with G\u00e9rard Depardieu (Buffet Froid, A Pure Formality), creating a wildly eccentric and guffaw-inducing duo unlike any the screen had ever seen before. After unsuccessfully searching for a French tycoon\u2019s missing daughter in Mexico, tough-guy private eye Campana (Depardieu) is grudgingly saddled with accident-prone accountant Perrin (Richard), a would-be detective presumed to be so maladroit that he will unwittingly lead Campana to the missing girl. But once let loose in Mexico, the question becomes whether Perrin will crack the case or crack his own skull first. Depardieu and Richard\u2019s comic chemistry buoys the anarchic slapstick and shaggy-dog story with gentle whimsy and graceful humanity. Though expertly evoking Hope and Crosby, the Pink Panther films and Buster Keaton, La Ch\u00e8vre is catapulted into the pantheon of international movie comedy on the irresistible strength of its effortless and distinctively French flair. La Ch\u00e8vre was remade in Hollywood as Pure Luck, starring Martin Short and Danny Glover.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ch%C3%A8vre-Pierre-Richard\/dp\/B0BZX12DSQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE GOAT (LA CHEVRE) | 1981 &#8211; 95&#8242; &#8211; Comedy, Adventure, Classic.
