Fairly obviously his profession considerably alienates bride Brigitte's socially minded father, but such scorn is obviously unmerited because the hero dresses Ivy-Leaguishly and drives around in a brand-new white sports car--a fine vehicle indeed except when it serves as a background for the equally white subtitles...
