Description of this Inspector La Bavure Poster
Inspecteur La Bavure is a 1980 French comedy film directed by Claude Zidi.
Michel’s father, Jules Clément, was killed during a daring arrest while working as a police officer. On his deathbed, his son promised him that he would become a police officer later. Twenty years have passed, and Michel has barely passed his police inspector’s exam. As the lowest-ranked member of his class, he has to stay in Paris. He is assigned Marcel Watrin, who is about to retire, as his partner. After some initial difficulties—Michel is mistaken for a criminal on his first day and beaten up by his new colleagues—the investigative work begins. In addition to Watrin, journalist Marie-Anne Prossant is also present in the patrol car. She wants to write a report on the men’s work to prove to her father, the press magnate Louis Prossant, that she can succeed without him. In a secondhand bookstore, Michel records the theft of two valuable dueling pistols, which he later receives from his half-criminal friends as a gift from the police. Disguised as a thief, Michel brings the pistols back to the secondhand bookstore, where both the saleswoman and Marie-Anne recognize him. But their surprisingly positive image of Michel quickly changes: the entire Parisian police force has been searching for the mad thief Roger Morzini for years. By chance, they catch him in the act of committing a robbery, but Michel’s recklessness causes an accident that allows Morzini to escape.
Morzini goes into hiding and has himself physically transformed into the actor Gérard Depardieu at Dr. Haquenbusch’s, based on a photographic model. After the operation, he kills Haquenbusch. While recovering, he watches a television interview with Marie-Anne, in which she calls him a deranged man and insults the police as incompetent. Morzini calls Marie-Anne and tells her that she will soon be able to convince herself of his character. Marie-Anne publishes the phone call on the front page of the newspaper. Police Director Mottet orders Marie-Anne to be conspicuously followed by the two most incompetent members of the police force. If Morzini were to plan her abduction following further provocations from Marie-Anne, a second team of experts would have to ensure her arrest. Michel and Marcel are chosen for open surveillance. Morzini, meanwhile, is not recognized in his new guise and makes contact with Michel, introducing himself as the detective novelist Antoine Collard. Michel befriends him, reveals valuable inside information, and is soon suspected of being a mole within the police force, working for Morzini. One day, when Morzini is invited to dinner at Michel’s house, he claims to want to play a joke on Marie-Anne as part of his new research on the novel, since with a little cunning, he can resemble Morzini. Michel participates in the alleged prank, arranges a secret meeting between Morzini and Marie-Anne, and ridicules his police colleagues with a Marie-Anne doll. For his part, Morzini takes the opportunity to take Marie-Anne to a remote villa and demand a ransom of one billion francs from her father.
Michel is arrested as Morzini’s assistant, secretly equipped with a transmitter, and convinced to escape with some difficulty. He accidentally notices that a transmitter has been sewn into his clothes and gives them to a beggar. His mother provides him with new clothes, and Michel takes action himself. With his half-criminal friends, he kidnaps Morzini’s mother and makes it known on television. Morzini is furious and wants to run away with Marie-Anne, but he is stopped by Michel. He uses an excavator to destroy the villa where Morzini is hiding and rescues Marie-Anne with the excavator’s bucket. With her, he goes to a hotel where he quietly arranges for the delivery of the ransom he has obtained from Louis Prossant in the meantime.
