The Rebel

Or: A Suburban Londoner in Paris. When commuter Hancock abandons his boring job for an artist's garret on the Left Bank, he finds fleeting success among the city's existentialists as a pioneer of the infantilist movement. Simultaneously satirising both English philistinism and French faddishness, Galton and Simpson's wry script and a fine supporting case allow the late, great comedian ample opportunity to explore la différence.
