Interesting adventure-comedy started off shaky for me as

Interesting adventure-comedy started off shaky for me as the first 10-15 minutes was an over-the-top, unfunny spy spoof only to reveal it came from the mind of a novelist writing... an over-the-top spy book. Picks up from there going back and forth from the novel to real world. As a whole not great but Jacqueline Bissett was always easy on the eyes and has some nice scenes with lead Jean-Paul Belmondo. **3.5/5**

clever send up of spy movies

In kanopy as the man from acapulco, but in imdb as le magnifique. Jacqueline bisset, vittorio caprioli, jeanpaul belmondo. Francois is a writer who has created a suave, sharp spy hero, who is all the things the writer is not. Francois uses people and events from his own life in the spy's adventures. Lots of fake blood and guts, but it's so over the top, it's more comical than scary. The running gag where the plumber and electrician are waiting for the other to work in francois' flat before they will start their work. Fun scenery from all over the world, as the spy saint-clar chases the bad guys. Paris, puerto vallarta, orly, acapulco. It must have been really fun making this film! In french, with english subtitles. It's a fun parody of spy thrillers, with sight gags keeping us entertained. Some repetition. Mostly good stuff. Directed by philippe de broca, who has been nominated for an oscar and a bafta! It's a fun one. One forgets that it was made back in 1973.

some ridiculous fun

Bob Sinclar (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a superspy in a ridiculous spy world. He's actually the central character in a book series written by François Merlin (Jean-Paul Belmondo). In his imagination, many people in his real world are incorporated into his spy fantasy.This film announces itself as a ridiculous spoof right from the start with the giant claw lifting up the phone booth. There is nothing funnier than the translators scene. I like to stay in the spy universe and keep it as ridiculous as possible.
