...creative film editing and nobody will know the difference. Despite the best efforts of Forman and his helpers to re-create the spirit of the '60s, the spirit of the '70s keeps intruding, striding through the day in bright blue Adidas. Too many telltale Perrier bottles, expensive French jeans, $30 blow-dry haircuts. And while 10,000 visitors to the Sheep Meadow this day at least try to recall a simpler age of love, peace and tolerance, hundreds of citizens who live near the park file complaints of one sort or another with the local authorities...

But the point is made: we are here in the lap of a luxe so grand as to be unimaginable to us poor mortals who count ourselves lucky...
Thanks to the surprise American success of Cousin, Cousine, almost every French comedy is now exported to the U.S. Dear Detective, a dreary account of a middle-aged love affair, is one of the latest such movies to arrive, and it should never have left the Parisian suburbs. This film tries to spin charm by plying the audience with closeups of pastry and long shots of the Eiffel Tower. Not even Maurice Chevalier would have been amused...
