Salad by the Roots (French: Des pissenlits par la racine, literally (Eating) dandelions by the roots which is the French idiom for Pushing up the daisies) is a Franco-Italian comedy directed by Georges Lautner and released in 1964, a year after his success with Les Tontons flingueurs, which was also set in the Parisian underworld. It benefits from music by Georges Delerue and dialogue by Michel Audiard, among whose legendary lines is Plus t'as de pognon, moins t'as de principes. L'oseille c'est la gangrène de l'âme. (The more loot you've got, the fewer your principles. Lolly is the gangrene of the soul).
