A former secret agent, who retired and wrote a first novel which tells the eventful adventures of his hero "Le Léopard ", comes back to work, reluctantly helped by an old maid.
Acting
Brasseur's committed absurdity opposite Lavanant's scene-stealing exasperation.
Costume
The actual leopard-print everything. Commitment to bit.
Director
Jean-Claude Sussfeld
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Brasseur was already a Nouvelle Vague darling; this was his chaotic pivot to mainstream comedy, proving even French legends need to pay rent.
Director Sussfeld came from television; this theatrical misfire explains why he returned there immediately after.
