...though Dear Inspector is just another in a continuing series of films featuring "successful" women, it should not be stereotyped as such. Rather, it is an amusing and satisfying, if slightly dumb, romantic comedy in the true French tradition. Philippe de Broca is definitely back perhaps back to stay...
There is a certain unsavory irony in all this. In the '50s, Martin was the Yankees' fiery second baseman, a hustling player who wanted nothing more than to stay with the Yankees, then in their absolute prime (the Yanks won six of eight World Series in that decade).

By allowing lacocca to stay on until then, Ford will be swelling lacocca's annual pension to more than $100,000, though the de-hired executive is hardly the retiring type. He has given "no thought to what I'm going to do at all, literally none," he says. "Education, business, government, fishing-I don't know." He would not mind being an independent Ford dealer.
