He also claimed that taking the four vans and cars was more like joy riding than stealing, and that the two owners had been taken along without intent to kidnap.

And that's what this movie looks like at first, a French Get Smart, only with the added attraction of Belmondo's sexy grimaces and Jacqueline Bisset's--well, Jacqueline Bisset. But Brooks will joy-buzz you all night with this sort of thing (every week, in fact, for five or six years), while de Broca would rather tickle you, like a feather.
