Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, Louis de Funès only considered a TV adaptation of Molière's play. Encouraged by the actor's enormous popularity however, the producers took the risk to bring it to the big screen. Sadly enough, "L'Avare" ended up much being much less successful than de Funès' pictures usually were.
- Alternate versionsGerman version is heavily cut (ca. 50 min).

Featured review
Molière would have approved
Louis de Funès was certainly a shoo-in for the role of the irascible, mean and greedy Harpagon. The setting is somehow bizarre, but Molière's text is scrupulously respected. Filmed theater is usually taboo among movie critics and amateurs, but this experiment is both pleasurable and successful.If you want to discover Molière, this is the movie to see.
