Trivia

When it was first aired in Portugal, it started a minor political riot because of alleged explicit scenes. The Public TV administrator went on air after the movie, apologizing for showing such content, which turned a minor incident into a major political issue. Nowadays, no one would even give the scene where the actress shows her bottom a second thought.

User Reviews

Duck in Orange Sauce

When the wife wants to leave her husband in preference of a romantic Frenchman, the husband seemingly does not raise difficulties and invites his rival, along with his own secretary, for a weekend. His real purpose is taking her wife back through an elaborate plan.

Sometimes sophisticated, but more often farcical comedy based on a minor boulevard play. An undistinguished, ordinary entertainment that nevertheless is deftly acted and manages to amuse most of the time.
