The movie follows it fairly closely and the audience was reacting with amused chuckles the night I mw it Noel-Noel handle* the excitability of the French tn skillful fashion, with many of the scenes done In pantomime. The French automatic dislike of those in authority, their wild driving habits accompanied by frequent quane!*, the habit of lapping the head to indicate the hopeJesi mental |state of everyone else on the, road, and the maddening in trieacies of governmental red tape are vividly demonstrated Jack Buchanan is equally 1 excellent as the hidebound, Britisher and I particularly liked the depletion of his first, marriage to a toothy horse | woman. Ills second wife, a French girl, is quite, quite different in every way. She's played attractively by Marline Carol, who it a charmer.I However, I had great difficulty in understanding her.It's a droll little offering, a,rjlight and frequently bright 'satire.
