Middle aged crazy, pianistic variety, 2 December 2006
8/10
Author: Bob Taylor (bob998@sympatico.ca) from Canada

This is an entertaining comedy by an old hand who started as assistant to Henri Decoin in the 50's. I would give you a run-down of the plot, except it is too complicated. It's enough to say that Édouard Choiseul, our aging pianist hero, is juggling concerts, lessons, an ex-wife and present wife, a mistress, an old flame from the war years, her grand-daughter and about 20 other people who figure in his life. It is all held together very well by Jean Rochefort, whose air of weary aplomb is a joy to watch.

I don't think I have ever seen Nicole Garcia looking more beautiful,or more desirable. Imagine how crazy Édouard must be to want to go off to the States with Catherine Leprince. Annie Girardot as the first wife uses her fine comic timing to great effect, and Danielle Darrieux is radiant.
