Under Director Gerard Oury, Bourvil's trip follows the standard itinerary of scenic vistas and sight gags, with wayside dalliance supplied by the Italian manicurist and a blossomy German blonde, De Funès stays right behind him all the way in a green Jaguar, which is tailed, in turn, by a furtive Austin-Healey carrying members of a rival gang. Always mirthful if not memorable, and photographed in crisp showroom color, The Sucker is funniest on side excursions, particularly a sopping wet and agreeably ribald robbers-and-robbers chase among the stony nudes of the Tivoli fountains near...

...Chanel showing it is de rigueur for spectators to wear their own little Chanel suits out of loyalty to Coco. But no one told Barbra; she swept in to take her place beside Marlene Dietrich and Elsa Martinelli in a jaguar-skin suit and Homburg that had even the models gawking. How did she like the show? "Those girls at Cardin's," said the girl from Brooklyn, "they didn't have a thing under their dresses. I was embarrassed." And Paris haul couture? Barbra politely demurred: "Nice, but not for me." Privately, she declared: "It stinks...
