Cast: Dany Robin, Daniel Gélin, Jacques Jouanneau

This is a pleasant harmless comedy ,not unlike the American ones of the thirties .Dany Robin and Daniel Gélin makes a nice pair in the classical parts of "enemies-turned-in love ;the story is quite zany,which is fine with me: a Greek Tycoon (Michel Galabru,with an accent) thinks the chick he's got a crush on is having an affair with another man;she's not ,but she 's in charge an invaluable necklace she has to take to Cannes by train with the help of a private eye.But the millionaire has also her followed by an investigator from Noel Roquevert's seedy agency:the boss 's got only one man,but this man can be a young gigolo or a respectable greybeard,or ..you name it .

The best moments happen in the first part in the train with mistaken identities and false beards;then a nice part in the Provence landscapes where Gélin pretends he is a farmer's son (and Fernand Sardou does not even notice he's got the local accent);the movie loses steam in the second half and sometimes verges on slapstick farce ,but the actors keep the interest throughout

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.
