Jean Noblet, whose female successes are countless, is sent by his father to Paris to get down to work seriously under the tutelage of his uncle, a colonel who has retired and been sent to the Board of Directors of the Compagnie Mondiale des Pétroles, where Jean plans to start a career. During the trip, Jean, who presents himself as the chairman and CEO of the Company, meets Lola Wanda, director of a ballet company, and gets an appointment with her in her dressing room in Paris. In the same compartment, Prince Yucca, who reigns over vast oil territories and is eyeing Wanda, travels incognito.

A Julien Duvivier's assistant , Robert Vernay 's best efforts are his early forties movies,notably both versions of "le comte de Monte Cristo " ,the second one in color .The fifties ,it's downhill ...

"Quelle sacree soirée " begins with ponderous gags to show us that the hero (Jean Bretonnière , who sings "sous le ciel de Paris" in Duvivier's eponymous great movie:it remains his only claim to fame ) has more girlfriends than a movie star ; this cock and bull story of oil territories has nothing to recommend it : the young womanizer's uncle throws a society party and he's supposed to attend it ; but he hasn't got a tuxedo , what a problem !Even seasoned Noel Roquevert can't save something from the wreckage.

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.
