On paper this shouldn't work but on screen it's a delight and will surely stand up to further viewings. Unlikely as it may seem Francois Berleand is a babe magnet and the babes are, almost exclusively, young enough to be his daughters. He's also a gifted painter but though he hasn't got change of a match he gets by on charm and said babes are practically standing in line to pose for naked portraits, and a wife and twenty year old son in the background do nothing to deter his amorous progress. Micheline Presle is also on hand and makes a decent fist of stealing every scene in which she appears but the main thrust - which makes a half-hearted attempt at gravitas - involves two young sisters, one of whom is attracted to Berleand to the extent that she palms a would-boyfriend her own age off on her sister, who then gets the notion that Berleand is dangerous and sics their father, a cop, onto him as simultaneously the girl in supposed jeopardy teams up with Berleand's estranged son - yes, it's THAT kind of movie; they used to turn this stuff out by the yard in Hollywood before the accountants assumed control of the industry. If soufflé's are your thing you'll love this.
