      Aender S Usually I don't mind Jean-Pierre Belmondo's over-acting and I'm even a fan of him doing almost all of his stunts himself, but here he turns the over-acting to eleven. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Attila L In my humble opinion, it is pointless to analyze this movie. If you know 70's, 80's French or Italian comedies then you already get the picture. Uber charming acting from Bebel in particular, but the rest of the cast is top notch as well! One of my all time favorite comedy, no matter how many times i watch it, still makes me laugh out loud throughout the movie! And believe me, i have seen it over 30 times most likely. Belmondo forever!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Thou smartly written this film can't decide whether to be funny or sad. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Jean-Paul Belmondo, a popular French actor, stars in this comedy in a role that suits him - he represents an irreformable woman-chaser. Stefan's wife is leaving for the Easter and so he, after had said her good-bye at the airport, is finding a new - this time very young and charming - victim... when his wife occurs unexpectedly back at home, the fun starts... not bad French comedy though not the best one.
