Avis à la une
In this musical comedy the splendid and brilliant comedian Louis de Funes is a stiff-upper-lip manager of a female group of modern dance along with his nephew , actual real-life son, Olivier De Funes . They usually perform in París, then they go on a trip in Rome and other European cities , Montecarlo, Madrid... But Funes prohibits them to marry , relationship and socialize with men . Thing go wrong when one of the girls and the nephew himself have two babies in Rome.
Very stylish Seventies film with full of color , fast as well as psychedelic choreographies , twisted mountage , gaudy scenarios , explosive lights, Zooms , dated gowns , and anything else . Amusing and entertaining Louis de Funes vehicle in which he shows a sensitive vein that we don't watch before. Here Funes boasts a a singing skills and dancing qualities that we don't see very often. Wonderfully played by the great Louis de Funes playing a manager of a group of dance , directing them in military style by controlling strictly their lives . From his first roles as "Devil and 10 Commandments" , "Captain Fracassa" , "La Vendetta" until his biggest hits as "Don't look we are being shot" along with Bourvil , Fantomas trilogy along with Jean Marais , Mylene Demengeot : "Fantomas" , "Fantomas Strikes Again", "Fantomas vs Scotland Yard" , to "The Cadillac Man" , "The Restaurant" , "Wing and the thigh" and his last film feature : "The mad adventures of Rabbi Jacob" . Although Funes really excelled in Ludovico Cruchot series as "Le Gendarme of Saint Tropez" , "Gendarme in Balade", "Le Gendarme in N. Y." , "Le Gendarme and creatures of outer space" and "Le Gendarme and Gendarmettes".
It displays a charming musical score by Francois de Roubaix with plenty of attractive songs and catiching sounds accompanying the spectacular dances . As well as atmospheric and colorful cinematography in Eastmancolor by Jean Rabiar. The film was well directed by Serge Korber , though, there are a number of failures , plot holes and gaps.

I saw this film in India in the mid-70s an a dubbed English version called "One Man Band". Louis des Funes was already popular thanks to his "Fantomas" movies and this one is a very inventive comedy. Worth watching and to keep when available. I have been looking for a video of this film for years.

It's obvious that if you're looking for plausible plots in any of Funes' movies aren't the right place to look for. Especially his film is all about the incredible camera and lighting, staging and set design. About the beautiful girls dancing and wearing classic 60ies outfits. In fact it's all about the dancing scenes. The idea having a conversation via singing is purely operatic, used to the extreme by Jacques Demy (Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and again in a different more Funesque way by Alain Resnais in On connaît la chanson!
The film looks like it's shot in Technicolor though in the credits only Eastmancolor is mentioned - a film stock unfortunately not available anymore. The colors this film stock produces are to die for - check also i.e. Truffaut's Antoine Doinel series all shot too in Eastmancolor.
Watch it and then watch it again;-)

This is a rather obscure movie of De Funes even in France in spite of it is one of his best.
What makes the difference is not the comedy because he is as funny as ever but his compassionate side that we don't see very often. This wasn't a surprise because in interviews, you can see that he was a formidable gentleman even having tremendous success. But, there are only a few movies in which he shows his kindness.
Here, it begins with the relation that he shares with his real son in life, Olivier. They are nearly the only men in the movie and they are great together. As a father, De Funes is very attentive and caring. And for sure, the scenes he had with the babies are moving: he is totally sweet!
In addition, the movie is an explosion of colors and it is an amazing collection of how the 70's, the flower power had impacted on France. Except maybe in "Dick Tracy", I haven't seen so much orange, yellow, red, black, blue
At last, the movie offers a great trip in romantic place: Montecarlo, Roma
For a movie which is a musical comedy, with dance, songs, music, ballets, I am totally appreciative! Bidibidi-BA!

For lovers of this great french comedian this movie is best watched with the remote control in one hand. The story is the typical mix of little choleric Louis (playing the director of an all girl dancing group) who tries to shield them from other men so that the girls won't be distracted from their job. There are a couple of well directed scenes that provide good laughs and Louis delivers the whole range of his facial expressions that alone makes you giggle. However this time the script seems to have lacked enough ideas for a full movie, therefore you will have to sit through plenty of dancing and music and even an almost unbearable singing scene where Louis de Funes sings musical-like. Approx. half of the movie time is being consumed by music, dance and singing only - too much for a comedy.
Therefore my advice: skip those dull scenes with the fast forward of your remote control and have a good laugh at Louis while he is really acting (and not dancing or singing).
