The ultimate cheapskate meets French farce in Louis de Funès' most gloriously unhinged performance.
The children of Harpagon, Cléante and his sister Elise, are each in love but they still haven’t spoken to their father yet. Harpagon is a miser who wants to choose the right man and the right woman for his children. Based on Molière’s play.
