Watch The Devil by the Tail

The Devil by the Tail, originally titled as Le diable par la queue, is a comedic French film from 1969. The film follows the antics of an enterprising family who runs a hotel in a rural part of the country. The Marquise of the family concocts a scheme to trap motorists into staying by hiring the nearby garage to ruin vehicles and claim that any repair work will take at least a day. Things work well until one of the guests turns out to be a felon evading capture by the authorities.
