Don't Push It (French: Pousse mais pousse égal) is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Denis Héroux and released in 1975.[1] The film stars Gilles Latulippe as Conrad Lachance, a clumsy young man who has trouble keeping a job; his girlfriend Gisèle Gagnon (Celine Lomez) gets him a new job as a nursing aide at the hospital where her father Dr. Gagnon (Yves Létourneau) works, exasperating her father because he cannot fire Conrad without damaging his relationship with his daughter, but gradually leading the two men to a position of mutual respect.[1]
