    Funny, with a heck of a brilliant comedian

    Say what you want about the plot- it is absurd and insane- but it makes for some hilarious scenes, and the comic timing is perfect. It is true that a comedy like this one will be more enjoyable to viewers who understand French: idiomatic expressions are alway funnier in the original text rather than in translation. Nevertheless, what is undeniable and universal is the comic talent of the actor who plays Maurice (Regis Laspades). I have never seen him elsewhere, but in this zany story, he makes every line he utters shine, and he succeeds in making his ridiculous character a believable and lovable 3-dimensional being. Peter Sellers could not have done better.
