Summary
An inveterate gigolo, Tony Maréchal
has just
one skill: the ability to seduce beautiful women. He uses this
skill
to sweet talk himself into a trip to a skiing resort, under the
patronage
of a wealthy business man and his mistress. Here, Tony is hooked
by a man-mad baroness who invites him on a pleasure cruise to
Tahiti.
The dream holiday soon turns into Tony's worst nightmare…Review
The third film which reunites director Jean
Becker and
actor Jean-Paul Belmondo is an outlandish comedy which manages to
capture
perfectly the exuberance of the swinging’60s. The jokes and comic
situations fall fast and furious, bolstered by a funny script from
Michel
Audiard and some typically outrageous Belmondo stunts. The result
is a non-stop running joke as Belmondo alternately seduces pretty women
and then struggles to extricate himself from his conquests. It is
a witty and genuinely funny satire on the traditional Don Juan theme.
