English Summary:
La Chèvre (English title: Knock on Wood, literal translation: The Goat) is a 1981 French comedy film directed by Francis Veber, starring Pierre Richard and Gérard Depardieu. It is the first of three films featuring Richard and Depardieu as a comic duo.
An American remake of this film was made in 1991, starring Martin Short and Danny Glover, entitled Pure Luck.
La Chèvre features Depardieu as the tough-guy private detective Campana, hired to find Marie, the daughter of a rich businessman, who has mysteriously disappeared while vacationing in Mexico. The case turns out to be complicated – several attempts to find her have already failed. A psychologist, Meyer, who works for the businessman, suggests a plan. Marie is known to be extremely unlucky and accident-prone; the psychologist advises sending someone equally accident-prone to find her, on the theory that what happened to her may also happen to him, and thus, following her steps while the detective tags along, the daughter can be found and returned home. Richard's character Perrin is an awkward, accident-prone accountant who works for the businessman, and is chosen to implement the scheme. The adventures of an odd duo begin...
Hungarian Summary:
Vannak kimondottan balszerencsés emberek. Olyanok, akiket egyik pech a másik után ér. Marie Bens pontosan ilyen, eddig apja minden balszerencsés vállalkozása után kisegítette őt a bajból, de most, hogy elmúlt húszéves, azt tesz, amit akar. Dél-Amerikába utazik, s amint földet ér, nyomtalanul eltűnik. Apja úgy dönt, olyan embert küld utána, aki hozzá hasonló, azzal biztosan megtalálják egymást.
