Product Description

French heartthrob Jean-Paul Belmondo plays Francois, a reclusive novelist whose wild imagination gets the best of him in this delightful blend of fantasy and adventure. Becoming the lead character from his own book, the dashing spy-hero Bob Saint Clair, Francois is hysterically thrown into the middle of his latest espionage case in a hilarious whirlwind of chases, betrayals, confrontations and mutual attraction. Long before "Austin Powers," this cleverly-written French comedy outrageously portrays the spy game like it's never been seen before!

Guy with a Tie

My favorite movie of all times. (And it's a comedy)

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

This my favorite movie of all times.
This comedy has it all.

Actually, it's more than comedy.
It's a spoof of the James f%$&#g Bond spy movies.
It's a story of "real" life and even love.
Show it to a teenager and he will enjoy its action.
Show it to a pacifist and he will applaud its mockery of action movies and their primitive plots.

I don't want to spill beans and kill all the movie's greatness.
All I can say, everybody who watched it on my advice, from Rhodes scholars to us - average Joes, loved it (maybe for all different reasons :).
A word of caution although - no matter what happens at the beginning do not turn it off (didn't I mention it's extraordinary).

Jean-Paul Belmondo is LE MAGNIFIQUE.
I watched a lot, maybe even most of his movies.
His carrier span over decades.
Not all of his movies are great but he gave them all his great talent and made them better just being there.

Enjoy Le Magnifique - the movie and the actor.

Do yourself a BIG favor - don't read other reviews.
People try to build up your interest by giving away too much of a plot.
Would you want to enjoy full power of the movie or just survive through it?

If you are not going to try to find some other movies by JP Belmondo, I will eat my hat.
Just call me :)

How to Destroy the Reputation of the Greatest Secret Agent

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2010

Action-comedy Le Magnifique aka How to Destroy the Reputation of the Greatest Secret Agent is perhaps the most fun of Philippe De Broca's collaborations with Jean-Paul Belmondo, a 1973 spoof of secret agent movies and pulp novels that clearly exerted a heavy influence on Jean Dujardin and Michel Hazanavicius' OSS 117 spoofs and probably Austin Powers as well. Bob Saint-Clair is the kind of superspy who always gets the girl and never misses the bad guy and, naturally, only operates in the most exotic locations. He's also the creation and altar-ego of terminally broke Francois Merlin, author of 42 novels including The Maltese Pigeon, all written from his apartment in the wrong part of an almost perpetually rainy Paris where he reimagines his publisher, plumber and even a traffic warden as violently despatched villains with no concern other than meeting his deadline so he can pay some bills. That changes when Jacqueline Bisset's student moves in upstairs and starts reading his novels and, worse still, analysing their appeal, and before long he's straying from his winning lowest common denominator formula and undermining his character at every turn as he overanalyses everything and tries to write something that will impress her. That's pretty much it for plot, but it's all played with such straight-faced silliness, whether it be a shootout with an army of frogmen interrupted by a cleaning woman vacuuming the beach, an ill-advisedly discarded cyanide pill killing an entire swimming pool of tourists or the walls of an Aztec temple lair running with blood. Yet as silly as it is, it's also a surprisingly accurate film about the perils of the writing process thanks to De Broca and Francis Veber's script, though sadly it starts to fall apart in the last reel as the novel gets too misogynistically absurd while an attempt to contrive a crisis back in the real world to give the film a big finish falls flat. But luckily the rest of the film is so much fun and Belmondo is having such a ball with all the self-parody that even in a dubbed version you can forgive it. And how can you not love a film that begins with a man being killed by a shark in a phone booth?

The French PAL DVD includes an unsubtitled French and dubbed English soundtrack.

Hysterically funny writer's journey

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2011

Verified Purchase

Bob St Clair, espion extraordinaire - James Bond with a French twist - is our hero, flexing his muscles with a modest, self-satisfied smile as he and the beautiful Tatiana fend off the villains, until...
...as he guns down another bunch of baddies on a Rio beach, a maid comes through the action, pushing a vacuum in her carpet-slippers - and we're back to real life, where Francois Merlin is hammering out the story on a crocked old typewriter.
Both Merlin and St Clair are played by Jean-Paul Belmondo - but as Merlin he's unshaven, unwashed, in rumpled grey clothes, a Gauloise dangling out of the corner of his mouth. As Bob St Clair he's tanned, glossy, a lady-killer.
Everything's going wrong for poor Merlin: the plumbing in his grotty flat has given up; he has a mad fancy for the unnoticing Christine, the gorgeous student upstairs (Jacqueline Bisset, who also plays the mysterious Tatiana, besotted by Bob St Clair); his publisher is a bully.
And the disasters of real life infect his story. His typewriter's 'e' key breaks, and the characters lisp their dialogue without it. His publisher becomes the bumbling supervillain...
Very funny, and this Region 1 version is the only one with English subtitles. Every writer should see this film.

No Menu

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Movie itself is fantastic. I probably paid too much for it, but it was worth the money.
HOWEVER, there is No DVD menu. There is only a chapter selection when the menu button is pressed. This makes it very difficult to switch subtitles and languages without a fancy dvd/bluray player.

007 meets Austin Powers on acid

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

It is a bonafide burlesque of super spy novels. Duality at work, down on his luck author and his alter ego breaking the fourth and 'fifth' walls on a whim and a prayer, beguiling audience with tonge-in-cheek social commentary, leaving no cliche-rock unturned in this madcap landscape of 007 meets Austin Powers as a figment of imagination on acid. It is a celebration of human spirit that goes beyond the cinematic and into the elusive land of the metaphysical, a divine comedy that renders all other genres of its type obsolete. It is La Magnifique. For once I am out of words. . . as long as the DVD is there idling on our shelf for posterity, humanity has a chance. Now pur your iphone on mute, put out a 'Do not disturb' sign on a door knob, make yourself a cup of Mocha cup of coffee, curl up on a sofa, turn off the lights and press play. Get ready to be trancended.
