1.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, but this VHS Tape is Awful, December 22, 2004
After years of trying to get a copy of this wonderful movie and checking on Amazon, suddenly it became available on VHS at Amazon last summer and I ordered a copy. What arrived, is NOT an original studio release. Instead it was a generic tape with a typed white label. When I put it in to view, what I found was a very grainy image with a dubbed English soundtrack. I was very disappointed.

My guess is that someone found a copy of the 1972 poor U.S. release at a flea market somewhere and has taken a position that the copyright has entered the public domain after 28 years as per statutory section 17 USC 303 of the copyright law and is publishing copies of that worn out flea market copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest French comedies of the 70's!, September 1, 2002
By David S. Rose (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one great, classic, comedy! When it was released in 1973 it became such a hit in France that it was quickly released internationally, where it became a major hit in the US as well. The story of an unwitting schnook who is thought to be a superspy by warring factions of the French secret service provides ample fodder for farce, both slapstick and otherwise. This original version is MUCH better than the American remake starring Tom Hanks and Tom Arnold, and the casting is so perfect as to take your breath away. Among other things, I defy any male with a pulse to keep his jaw in place when the stunningly beautiful Mireille Darc (later to be Alain Delon's girlfriend) turns around in a certain black dress [grin].

For trivia buffs, it is interesting to note a few facts such as (1) the part of the conductor during the concert scene was a cameo by the director, Yves Robert; (2) the score was one of the first showcases for the pan-flute music of Zamphir; and (3) the film was such a hit that it spawned an immediate sequel (The Return of the Tall Blond Man).

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly funny, October 10, 1999
By A Customer
I saw this movie 8 times in movie theaters in Europe and I watched it from my VCR many times. Each times I suffered severe pain of abdominal muscles from laughing. More, next day, going to my office by Commuter Railroad I recalled fragments of this movie and I started laughing again making other passengers looking at me in rather strange way. No doubt, it is a perfect comedy. American remake is rather poor comparing to this orginal.
