Does anyone know if Clouseau films are popular in France? Or, do they take themselves a bit too seriously to really enjoy these movies? Dudley Dooright was never popular in Canada, but they love their Mounties up there.
shareI am American and don't know whether the French like this movie, but I've watched it in French (I speak French and love any opportunity to be pretentious), and it just isn't as funny, 'cause he doesn't have the ridiculous accent. I don't know how they'd do that, really, and have it work in French.
Death is...whimsical today.
Your remark reminds of that wonderful Cloris Leachman line in "History of the World Part 1" where she's a revolutionary in France in 1789 and says, "We're so poor we don't even have a language. All we have is this stupid accent'!"
"Could be worse."
"Howwww?"
"Could be raining."
