Monsieur Julien est depuis de nombreuses années chasseur chez Maxim's. Il est apprécié de tous pour sa discrétion et sa parfaite connaissance des cocottes. Aussi, lorsqu'il annonce son intention de prendre sa retraite, son patron refuse. Il menace de révéler à sa femme, qui le croit industriel, la véritable nature de son emploi. A contre coeur, Julien se résigne, mais sa vie devient impossible, perturbée par la curiosité de son neveu et la légèreté de sa maîtresse. (Gaumont)

A very enjoyable, typically theatrical comedy about a man whose one not-so-beautiful day starts to spoil everything that can be spoiled. Michel Galabru's acting is excellent, the plot is nice and brisk, thanks to the sympathetic runtime, and everything takes place in the 1920s, so the film has a nice "retro" atmosphere supported by a kind of dreamy camera.

Decent French comedy, which has not lost its freshness even after years. Besides the classic theme of womanizing, it targets the decadent life of the upper society and is a somewhat non-intellectual, popular counterpart of Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. The film can boast the participation of a number of well-known actors of its time. Alongside the excellent Michel Galabru, his fellow from The Seventh Company, Jean Lefebvre, appears in the role of a priest. Interesting is the performance of Claude Gensac, who parodied wives from wealthy bourgeois families, a role she played countless times in her career. Overall impression: 75%. ()
