william k Although an adaptation of Molière's classic comedy, this is foremost another typical vehicle for comedian Louis de Funès, who, admittedly, fits the role very well. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member J'adore cette version de l'avare !!! La vieille qui le poursuit avec son panier de la quête me fait toujours mourir de rire !!!;) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member a good intepretation of l'avare by louis defunes, very funny Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Finally I know who the Harpagon is. :-) And I like the way Louis de Funès plays him.
