Release

The film was released in France on VHS in 1995.[1]

Reception

Variety stated that Alain Jessua and Paul Gégauff "manages some facile but amiable comic situations" but that "Jessua gropes unsuccessfully for the right macabre-satiric tone."[2] The review stated that Eddy Mitchell was "an inveterate film buff" and "no doubt had fun with the part," but that "Rochefort and other players seem less at ease."[2] AllMovie gave the film one and a half stars out of five, calling it an "uneven spoof".[3]
