PARIS -- French comedy director and writer Gerard Oury, who helmed La Grande Vadrouille, the biggest-selling movie in French history, died Thursday morning at his home in St Tropez, his daughter, director and writer Daniele Thompson said. He was 87. Starring the comic duo Louis de Funes and Bourvil, La Grande Vadrouille hit screens in 1966, pulling in a staggering 17.2 million admissions, making it the top-selling Gallic movie of all time in France, bested only by Titanic with 21 million ticket sales in 1998. Oury's other credits included Le Corniaud, La Folie des Grandeurs and The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob. Tributes from the world of arts and politics flooded in with French president Jacques Chirac describing Oury as a "master of laughter and magnificent creator of myths." Festival de Cannes honored Oury in 2001 with the Festival Trophy. He will be buried in Paris on Monday.
