About More Beautiful Than Me You Die
Aldo and Marco are twins. Marco, a parish priest, has always been his mother's pride and joy, whereas Aldo has a history of repeated prison stints. A womanizer and high-rolling gambler constantly in need of cash, he frequently finds himself embroiled in wild, shady schemes—most of which go awry. Wanted by the police, he flees to Tunisia, posing as his brother Marco and disguised as a priest. There, he reconnects with his childhood friend Prosper, dragging him into a life of reckless escapades, chasing after a million-dollar fortune and pretty women alike.
Directed by Philippe Clair, More Beautiful Than Me You Die leans on a strong ensemble — Aldo Maccione, Philippe Clair, Raymond Pellegrin — 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 1982.

When the local police inspector was found dead in a prostitute's house, police division commissioner Stan Borowitz is sent to investigate the situation. Posing as the prostitute's long-lost brother "Antonio Cerruti," he discovers a mare's nest of police corruption. In fact, in this comedy thriller the whole town is corrupt. If they were closely examined, Stan's methods for pursuing this investigation might embarrass the police. For instance, he drives into a criminal's house in a fancy, expensive race car. In another incident, he callously blows up a casino owned by Musard , one of the town's crime bosses. On that occasion, he first forces Musard to remove his clothes, and the poor criminal watches his casino explode from across the square while standing naked in a phone booth. Meanwhile, Stan seduces the lovely Edmonde.
