Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The One Man Band
THE ONE MAN BAND (L'Homme Orchestre) is a musical comedy written and directed by Serge Korber in 1970.

Evan Evans is a reknown choreographer whose main worry is to prevent his female dancers from making the acquaintance of men. His last show is a world success but, in Rome, his leading dancer is taking care of the baby she had the year before with an Italian womanizer. She brings the baby to the hotel and leaves him in Evans's room. The nervous choreographer will spend the next days discreetly trying to find out who the baby belongs to.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
