one of my absolute favorites!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Unpretentious,sometimes funny little comedy in which everybody 's fooling everybody around.A widow (Dany Carrel) tries to find some drug her late hubby used to hide in his herbalist's.Other people,including a posh lady(Danielle Darrieux),her gigolo and her husband are also in search of the valuable stuff.A grave cop (Jean Rochefort)is investigating.Dany Carrel gets good support from Pascale de Boysson,as Gilberte,her holier-than-thou and scrupulous sister-in-law,who ,while using what she thought was mouthwash powder....trips.Sometimes the scenarists would like to get a little drama into the plot,but they should have stuck to humor,because it turns up at the most awkward moments.There's even a (dramatic) unexpected twist at the end but one should have preferred more fun things.
