Description
In the last of three collaborations with playful pop director de Broca (Cartouche, That Man from Rio) , Belmondo plays the author of pulp spy novels who, in order to escape his boring reality, imagines himself the hero of his work. The deft and clever blend of James Bond spoof and romantic comedy is given an added boost by the presence of gorgeous leading lady Bisset.
