What happens

Une gueule comme la mienne est un film français réalisé par Frédéric Dard, sorti en 1960. En France, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le journaliste Paul Roy est un résistant tandis que son confrère et ami Jacques Médina est un collaborateur. Mais c'est grâce à Jacques que Paul doit de rester libre, car il l'abrite chez lui après une rafle. Les deux amis coécrivent divers articles de propagande nazie qui paraissent sous la signature de Jacques. La situation se complique quand Paul devient l'amant de la femme de Jacques...
