He is a scampish servant of classical comedy, who cleverly manages his master's life without neglecting his own comfort. At the film's end, when the screenwriter threatens to violate the rules of worldliness by falling in love, Jean-Paul saves him from the folly of earnestness by bedding the lady himself. The writer does not take this kindness...
