Description of this Les Grandes Gueules Poster
Les Grandes Gueules is a 1965 French drama film directed by Robert Enrico, based on a novel by José Giovanni. Starring two popular male leads, Bourvil and Lino Ventura, the film tells the story of a man who fights to get his old family sawmill back up and running, despite violent opposition from his competitors and the betrayal of his right-hand man.
This film was the eighth most popular film at the French box office in 1965.
After his father’s death, Hector returns to the Vosges mountains after 20 years in Canada to take over the family sawmill. Remote and dilapidated, it can’t compete with modern businesses, and no one wants to work there. At an auction, he meets two ex-convicts, Laurent and Mick, looking for jobs. Laurent persuades Hector to recruit a group of parolees from the local prison.
At first, the arrangement works well. With a poorly paid workforce that can’t leave, he manages to get the sawmill back into production. This angers Therraz, the owner of a timber company further down the valley, who doesn’t want a lower-cost competitor, and battles ensue between rival groups of loggers.
A parolee named Reichmann has been detained, and finally Hector is informed that he will arrive by bus the day after the village festival. The workers enjoy the party until a group of Therraz’s men interrupt it during an epic battle. When the police arrive, Mick is found dead. The next morning, when Hector goes to look for Reichmann, he is not there.
Back at the sawmill, he finds the police bringing all the parolees back to prison and learns that Laurent has hired them to put Reichmann in a secluded location where he can kill him. Despairing over this betrayal and the failure of his dream, Hector decides to burn down the sawmill and die in the flames. Laurent, who was leaving for Italy, repents and rushes to the sawmill, just in time to save him.
