M5 F6 or 7. Two simple settings Fauvinard is a Parisian barrister
with no work to speak of, whose formidable mother-in-law noses
shamelessly into both his private and business affairs. He and his
colleague Tardivaut fabricate a case to create an alibi for their
extra-marital affairs.It transpires that both their mistresses live
in the same apartment block, and that, unknown to them, Tardivaut's
mistress, Zizi, is also involved with Fauvinard's lecherous and
narcoleptic uncle. Fauvinard's mistress Cesarine, meanwhile,
appears to be an accomplice in a jewellery robbery. When Fauvinard
does land a case of his own, his client, who is seeking a divorce,
turns out to be the wife of another of Cesarine's lovers. Add a
vengeful maid, a vicious, man-hating poodle and a bone-headed
Police Commissioner, and Reggie Oliver's adaptation of the 1875
French farce Le Proces Veauradieux reaches hilarious heights of
brilliantly controlled mayhem.
