Summary
An inveterate gigolo, Tony Maréchal has just one skill: the ability to seduce beautiful
women. He uses this skill to sweet talk himself into a trip to a skiing resort,
under the patronage of a wealthy business man and his mistress. Here, Tony is hooked
by a man-mad baroness who invites him on a pleasure cruise to Tahiti. The dream
holiday soon turns into Tony's worst nightmare…
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.
