Garv’s Pick of the Week: Fric-Frac (Cinetrove International)
For the release week of December 4th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Fric-Frac [Blu-ray + DVD / Cinetrove International]
: I don’t know much about this French caper comedy from 1939 apart from that it stars Fernandel, Michel Simon, and Arletty. However, the trailer above looks fun, and it’s great to see a new boutique label dedicated to releasing classic foreign titles in the American market.
