Little Tougas (French: Ti-Cul Tougas) is a Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Jean-Guy Noël and released in 1976.[1] The film stars Claude Maher as Rémi Tougas, a musician who is hiding out in the Magdalen Islands with his girlfriend Odette (Micheline Lanctôt) after stealing his band's payment from a gig; they plan to further escape to California with Odette's friend Gilberte (Suzanne Garceau), but their plans are complicated when Rémi's bandmate Martin (Gilbert Sicotte) arrives to recover the money.[2]

The cast also includes Louise Forestier, Jean-Louis Millette, Guy L'Écuyer and Gabriel Arcand.

Carmel Dumas of Cinema Canada praised the film, writing that it demonstrated "that a very good young cinema is hard on the heels of the Carles and the Jutras of Quebec's film community."[3]

The film won the Prix L.-E.-Ouimet-Molson from the Association québécoise des critiques de cinéma.[4]
