Here’s my award for The Most Dissimilar Movies With The Most Similar Movie Titles…Les Touchables, a 1968 UK release, which appears to be a Valley of the Dolls-style ripoff (the French poster was drawn by Boris Grinsson that you can buy here) and, of course, the 1987 Brian DePalma gangster pic, The Untouchables, that made Kevin Costner a star…
