Louis the Funes is Forchaume, the owner of a ship construction yard, who fires his constructor Castagnier when his latest ship sinks at the launching ceremony. When Castagnier has left, Forchaume learns that another construction of his, the sailboat "Le Petit Baigneur" has won a prestigious competition at San Remo, and that a competitor is out to by the "Baigneur". The race is on to win Castagnier and the boat back.
A great showcase for the talents of the inimitable Louis de Funes. An endless flow of hilarious scenes, some of them imitated, but seldom surpassed in later Hollywood comedies.
Fans of Jim Carrey and other comedians of the "crazy mimicry crazy comedy school" should watch this, and see how wonderfully funny de Funes can be, without ever being annoying or tiresome.
Look out for scenes like the sermon in the run-down church, the runaway tractor and the amphibious kayak.
