Diable par la Queue, Le (1968, FRA/ITA) C-94m. ** D: Philippe De Broca. Starring Yves Montand, Madeleine Renaud, Maria Schell, Jean Rochefort, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Clotilde Joano, Claude Piéplu, Tanya Lopert, Marthe Keller, Philippe De Broca. Impoverished aristocratic family changes their castle into a hotel, and with the help of the local gas station attendant, this turns into a lucrative business… until criminal Montand is among the "victims". Mild farcical comedy features only a handful of laughs, despite excellent cast. A disappointment from the director of LE TRIBULATIONS D'UN CHINOIS EN CHINE (1965). Playful score by Georges Delerue. English title: THE DEVIL BY THE TAIL.
