Two women, Léa and Clotilde, with two men, Ludovic and Papillon, form a nice quartet of crooks. Their targets: pharmacists, diamond dealers, and gogos of all kinds who respond to enticing classified ads. Business is booming, but the police are watching. Commissioner Masson will eventually arrest them, but, ironically, for a matter of which they are totally innocent.
Directed by Maurice Boutel, Business leans on a strong ensemble — Colette Renard, Pierre Doris, Marcel Charvey — 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 1960.
