Pierre Richard make a lot of very good comic films between 1970 and 1990 and I think he's among the greatest comic stars of the history of French cinema, among with Christian Clavier, Louis DeFunes, Fernandel and Bourvil. Under the direction of Edouard Molinaro, Yves Robert, Gérard Oury, the great great Francis Veber or Pierre Richard himself, the comedian shows us a ordinary guy character, clumsy, sometimes shy, full of good intentions, but not where he should be. He looks a bit like the characters Harold Lloyd plays in the silent movies era. Most of these films are short (1 hour 30) and full of very funny jokes. A lot of them were badly remake by Hollywood: Le grand blond, La chèvre, Le jouet, Les compères, les Fugitifs) This one was not his most popular film of the 1970's, but it's one of my favorite. Pierre Richard plays a photograph who madly wants to be a movie director, and he accepts to adapt a melodrama, written by one of his friends, into a porn movie. Lots of very funny dialogues, are hilarious situations. And for a +, see charming young Miou-Miou playing the girlfriend of Pierre Richard
