About Tricoche and Cacolet
Two friends, Tricoche and Cacolet, are partners in a detective agency. Chance has it that Cacolet is hired by Van der Pouf, a rich banker who wants him to watch over his wife Bernardine while the latter, on her part, seeks the services of Thicoche.
Directed by Pierre Colombier, Tricoche and Cacolet leans on a strong ensemble — Fernandel, Frédéric Duvallès, Ginette Leclerc — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1938.
