This is the itranslate version of the French critic review of L'Oeil Sur L'Ecran:
To keep their dilapidated castle, a family of desginated nobles turned it into a hotel. But as customers are scarce, they arrange with the small local garage for travelers to make a forced stop. This will lead to very different people at the castle, including a bank robber... Written by Daniel Boulanger and cut by Claude Sautet, The Devil by the Tail is often described as "marked by the spirit of May 68" (in reality, this qualifier would apply much more precisely to Philippe de Broca's previous film, The King of Hearts shot in 1966. It is certainly more accurate to say that this is a light and wacky, kindly amoral comedy. Nothing is serious here, we seduce, we play with love, in all its forms. The film is imbued with a communicative pleasure. Yves Montand obviously had a good time composing this exuberant and charming southerner and Marthe Keller as a young nymph with long legs brings a nice touch of mutinous freshness. There are good scenario finds, the whole is fluid; we have a lot of fun.
Rated: 3 out of 4 stars
