So Long, Stooge (French title: Tchao Pantin) is a 1983 French crime drama film directed by Claude Berri and based on a novel by Alain Page, starring Coluche, Agnès Soral and Richard Anconina. It tells the story of Lambert, a broken, bitter man who befriends a younger, lost, man whom he tries in vain to help, and later seeks to avenge his friend's murder.
A success at the French box-office, the film is best known for being the first dramatic role of Coluche, then a very famous comedian in France. Coluche won the César Award for Best Actor for his performance.
