Le trouble-fesses

Modest little comedy, ending in the traditional way with pairing off and a wedding.

The pairs are less traditional, perhaps. Michel Galabru, as a harassed executive in an Italian food company, has a delicious wife in Bernadette Lafont and a delicious secretary in Anicée Alvina. When the two women eventually meet, they hit it off perfectly and a happy ménage à trois is formed. The other male lead, Maurice Risch as the boss's nephew and titular groper, is married off compulsorily and his new household includes two Sicilian hit men assigned by his father-in-law to ensure he gets up to no new pranks.

While cheap sets and uninspired locations might suggest lack of imagination as well as budget, the music is sometimes cheerful and the four principals give good value.
