The Most Wanted Man or Public Enemy Number One (French: L'ennemi public n° 1, Italian: Il nemico pubblico n° 1) is a 1953 French-Italian comedy film directed by Henri Verneuil and starring Fernandel, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Louis Seigner.[1] It was shot at Cinecittà Studios in Rome. The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Giordani. It was one of many co-productions between the France and Italy during the postwar era.
An ordinary American man is mistaken for a public enemy number one after he puts on a gangster's coat. Only with the help of the real gangster's girlfriend, Lola, is he able to bring the criminal to justice and clear his own name.
