Tendre voyou
1966 Comedy
Review
The third film which reunites director Jean Becker and actor Jean-Paul Belmondo is an
outlandish comedy which manages to capture perfectly the exuberance of the swinging’60s.
The jokes and comic situations fall fast and furious, bolstered by a funny script from
Michel Audiard and some typically outrageous Belmondo stunts. The result is a non-stop
running joke as Belmondo alternately seduces pretty women and then struggles to extricate
himself from his conquests. It is a witty and genuinely funny satire on the traditional
Don Juan theme.
