Summary
Robert Millard is a businessman who sells gadgets that are designed to make the world
a quieter place. Unfortunately, his private life is anything but quiet. When
his plant-loving battleaxe wife Irene discovers that he has a mistress, Eve, Robert decides
to kill her to inherit her fortune. He engages a crime writer, Gerard Piche,
to give him the plot for a perfect murder, which he will then enact for real. Unfortunately,
things do not go quite as planned. For one thing, Irene has hired a private detective
to follow her husband's every move. When she discovers Robert's intentions, an incensed
Irene decides to take her revenge…
Review
This is a film which definitely comes into the category “silly but fun”.
There is certainly a great deal to fault with this film. The characterisation is
absurd and the plot becomes increasingly ridiculous as the film progresses, in a frantic
attempt to top one well-meaning comic situation with another. Yet despite its faults,
Tout doit disparaître is a likeable film, a boisterous comedy which is kept
going through the enthusiastic contributions from its five leading actors. As ever,
Didier Bourdon and José Garcia give value for money, making the best of the cheap
material they are given. If low-brow, off-the-wall comedy is your thing, then this
unsophisticated French comic farce does have great entertainment value.
