      • Trivia
        Because of its huge advertising campaign on bill boards and in metro stations 25 French critics called moviegoers to boycott L'AS DES AS. They argued that Belmondo would displace smaller, more important movies like Jacques Demy's UNE CHAMBRE EN VILLE. Belmondo answered in newspapers with the words of Jean Cocteau: "Critics like to blame those who hold their head a little bit higher than the others." And Belmondo added that he does movies only for audiences not for critics. A year later he said in an interview: "Critics say that my movies won't last. Who cares? I live now."
      • Goofs
        The coat of arms from the Romanian flag in front of the hotel where the French delegation has been accommodated was adopted only after 1965.

      the last very good film buy Gerard Oury

      I don't know why but i just keep watching this movie with pleasure. Not a absolute classic, but that movie has a special "taste" that makes it so special in my eyes, and warms me in a strange way.

      Not the best work of Gerard Oury, but certainly his last very good one.

      Belmondo is perfect, as most other actors are.

      The story is absolutely not serious, but takes place during very dark times for Europe, giving a nice message behind the good laughs that you have.

      Give it a try, don't take it seriously and, if like me you are fond of Belmondo, you will certainly have a good time watching this film.

      Cheers
