It's just a pleasant comedy with good actors and actresss: Anny Duperey, François Marthouret, Jean-Marie Winling, Philippe Khorsand, Nicole Bachman Jean-Alexanfre Blanchet and Constance Dollé.

A pleasant comedy.

Just saw this film this afternoon on France 2. It was a real torture. After one minute, I hoped it would be a parody, because the actors, dialogs, the music, the montage and the direction were just awful ! Anny Duperey is just ridiculous, like all the main actors (except maybe the MAAF guy), every word that seems important is emphasized with a incredibly bad conviction... Not to mention the violin soup music ... You can often see that the movie was post-synchronized ... The only voluntary funny moment is when La Grande Duchesse appears to the crying lady. It is the worst movie I have ever seen, and I think it will be hard to make worst.
