Le Cop (1984)
Director: Claude Zidi
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Corrupt Parisian cop René initiates naive police-academy graduate François (Lhermitte) into the advantageous corruption of the sleazy Goutte d'Or quarter in Paris, where shirts, meals, drink, whores and drugs are there for the taking - provided one turns a blind eye to certain criminal activities. Noiret is in his element as the slobbish René, Lhermitte's metamorphosis is nicely handled, and director Zidi's attention to the back-street milieu helps to sustain a believable air of comic amorality.Author: NF

Hi Les,
Would you be able to copy this video for me? My dad has raved on about it for at LEAST the last 10 years and I know it would make him the happiest man alive if i gave him a copy for christmas. I will pay you for the tape/postage/trouble etc, I appreciate loads of people have asked you though so no worries if not to be. Thanks, Jilly x - Report as inappropriate

Hi guys
I am not sure if les is genuine because after the initial contact, he went AWOL. I have now managed to get my hand on an NTSC VHS tape of the movie WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES from US. After watching it, I will sell it on Ebay unless anyone here is interested. I paid £25 for it!! Make me an offer I cannot refuse. - Report as inappropriate

This film is side splittingly funny.
My whole family is trying to find this on DVD (or even VHS!) - Region 2 but with English subtitles. My sister lives in France and even she can't find it - Les, from above, if you are able to 'share' it would be amazing. - Report as inappropriate
