About We Request an Assassin
A son of a family in debt decides to put an end to his life and calls on a professional killer to do so, who promises to kill him within forty-eight hours. However the next day, money, luck and love smile at her again. Then can begin an infernal hide-and-seek between the assassin and his victim.
Directed by Ernst Neubach, We Request an Assassin leans on a strong ensemble — Fernandel, Max Dalban, Armand Bernard — 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 1949.
