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 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
