Name: À notre regrettable époux
Genre: Comedy
Released: 1988-02-24
Duration: 1 h 30 min
Rating: 5.2
Cast: Jacqueline Maillan, Alida Valli, Jacques Dufilho

Serge Korber is not much of a director and I watched the movie just because Jacqueline Maillan was in it ;but it's a disappointment: a genius comic on stage ,she loses 90% of her unquestionable talent on the screen ;pairing her with cast against type (and remarkable actress too) Alida Valli is odd indeed ,but had the screenplay been more interesting ,and had Korber directed his thespians ,he could have made a fine gruesome comedy.

A gangster (Jean -Pierre Aumont in a five-minute half English half French part) dies (or is killed?) and he leaves lots of gold Lingots behind .As he married two different women,there are two widows (see above) and many people are interested in the hidden treasure .Dead bodies piles up at the speed of sound and that's it : it becomes aggravating and dull .The final song is stupid.So is the clue to the hiding- place of the gold.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
