| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Le Magnifique |
|---|
"The Magnificent One", the funniest movie I ever saw ! Francois is an espionage-book writer. He likes to mix every-day character he can met in his book. In his book, he is Bob Saint Clar the greatest secret agent, his neighbour Christine appears as Tatiana a gorgeous spy girl and his editor Charon as Colonel Karpoff, the vilain who wants to rule the world. But in the reality, Charon tries to seduce Christine. So François decides to destroy his character.
