Another classic from Louis de Funès that I love returning to. Here, he plays one of his most despicable characters, but he’s brilliantly matched by his on-screen wife, Annie Girardot. The plot is solid, and as always, Vladimir Cosma’s music is just perfect. ()
Louis de Funès and Annie Girardot portray a seriously entertaining married couple whose daily bread was often an unhealthy degree of stubborn emotion. Both actors tackled their parts with verve and deliver many humorous scenes. However, I was most amused by the sequences with the pool table and the pull-up sash. I would certainly not be bored in such a lively and wild household, but at the same time I think would soon be ripe for a madhouse. A weaker four stars! ()
Here, a great duo came together. Louis de Funès and Annie Girardot are great as a married couple, exactly the kind who could get into such antics. From a screenwriting standpoint, there's absolutely brilliant use of their movie house here. Sprinkling the flower bed is just a great idea. And we're still basically at the beginning. The film keeps building up and jumping from one idea to another. ()
