      Very funny ! :)

      A really funny French comedy from the 70's !

      Adapted from a novel, actors are all good (the cream of the comedy actors from this period) and the situations really funny.

      I recommand !

      "Culture is the pollen collected by the butterflies of thought"

      I watched this movie from Netflix yesterday and was shocked by the 5.2 IMDB rating. To my mind, as far as comedy movies go, this film is a real treat, and deserves a better rating.

      Although the plot of the film is not wholly original, the cast is phenomenal and brings life into it perfectly. The gags all hit their mark, and there are even a few extraordinarily great jokes for one to remember later.

      Overall, this film offers you a nice cozy evening to be had with laughter and joy. If you enjoy a good old-fashioned comedy of mixed identities and barely concealed secrets, you cannot go wrong with this one!
