A French gem from the eighties

It's my childhood favorite film, one that I happily revisit as an adult anytime. A typical French comedy, yet it stands out. Perhaps it's the beautiful Greek landscape that makes it unique.I love the first part, but the sequel a bit more. It has some silliness, but I believe that's inherent in French films from that era. It wouldn't be a French comedy if the characters didn't feel compelled to scream at each other at the most unexpected moments. That's why we love these films.One thing is certain. The story is simple, yet magnificent. The film is humorous, with dialogues that often make you laugh and cry at the same time. Unfortunately, I don't speak a word of French, so I can't watch it in the original language, but the voice actors really did a great job at the time.The main characters are lovable, and the characterizations are really well done. And, of course, the beauty of the Greek land. All of this resulted in a truly good film.In the end, this film is a perfect blend of French wit, timeless humor, and the stunning Greek scenery, making it a cinematic gem that ages like fine wine.

Pleasing follow-up to "Dear Detective"

This sequel to the 1978 film "Dear Detective" is more of a James Bondian adventure (plus a Greek travelogue) than the whodunit the first film was. It offers breathtaking (and varied) Greek vistas, great driving (and other) stunts, lovely music, and lots of gentle laughs. Apart from the two leads, of course, Catherine Alric also returns but plays a different character, and almost steals the show; she looks like Catherine Deneuve's (much) sexier doppelganger! The film may be slightly too long, but it's fun; probably best watched right after "Dear Detective" for continuity purposes. *** out of 4.

Sweet screwball comedy filled with sunshine and stolen Greek treasures

You'd have to be pretty hard-hearted not to fall for this one: Philippe Noiret and Annie Girardot (reprising their roles from the earlier DEAR INSPECTOR) are a middle-aged French classics professor and his no-nonsense police inspector wife, trying to celebrate their honeymoon in Greece ... and instead winding up chasing the marble hindquarters of a priceless 2,500 year old statue. De Broca (best known for KING OF HEARTS) does an admirable job of updating the timeless Cary Grant/Katharine Hepburn screwball formula from the 1930's -- but a better comparison might be something like SILVER STREAK with its mixture of offbeat leads, winsome romance and faux-Hitchcockian thrills. The film's real charm is in its throwaway moments -- at one point the getaway car stops so that someone can mail postcards to the folks back home -- and the marvelous rapport between Noiret and Girardot, playing two decidedly mature romantic leads who aren't too mature for a role in the hay with a crackling fire and the ancient Greek hills in the background. A lovely little movie: Hollywood in style but French in spirit, and made in Greece.
