The Traffic Circle Of The Tontons Flingueurs - Montauban

Caricatured sculptures of the Tontons Flingueurs stand at a traffic circle in Montauban south west of France, July 18, 2024. Les Tontons flingueurs (English: Crooks in Clover, also known as Monsieur Gangster, literally Gun-toting Uncles) is a 1963 French-Italian-West German crime comedy film with French dialogue, directed by Georges Lautner. The film was not popular with critics upon its first release in 1963, but was popular with the public. Its reputation has grown over the years to cult status and it is now a French television classic, becoming part of popular culture. If the film was not shot in Montauban, a sentence has remained in the memories “We should never leave Montauban”. This sentence launched by Lino Ventura has become cult but for the anecdote the director Georges Lautner wished to put forward a provincial city, in three syllables and his choice fell on the city of the south-west.
