...FIVE-DAY LOVER. The year's funniest import, a gay Gallic comedy of promiscuities in which Director Philipe de Broca, with the inspired collaboration of Comedian Jean-Pierre Cassel (The Love Game), assembles charming wisps of humor, twists them into a pretty little cord -and strangles every libertin (and libertine) in Paris...
...after finishing his course at the local Methodist mission's primary and secondary school, young Moise was sent off to nearby Kanene to win his degree at the Methodist teachers college. He even took a correspondence course in bookkeeping. A gregarious, gay fellow, Moise seemed less interested in commerce than in good times and cars-one big Ford particularly impressed the local girls.

In Paradise they are cast as a couple of gay young things in their middle 303, but the moving finger has inexorably written lines that contradict the ones they have to say. Their first fine rapture actually suggests a desperate last fling, their romantic moments sometimes seem mildly necromantic. The script, in any case, is guaranteed to make actors age rapidly.
