Slightly Ahead
A brilliant swindler, Olivier Parker, hires a small-time pipe salesman, Amédée, to swindle a naive provincial, Ferdinand Galiveau, a chicken merchant. Renamed Teddy Morton and now a jockey, Amédée must ride a mare on which Ferdinand, advised by Parker, must bet. Absolutely convinced of his mystification, Parker bets on an oddball who, of course, loses, while at the last minute Galiveau, having bet on an outsider, wins a fortune. All Parker has to do is find another sucker.

Reviews
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
