to celebrate her engagement to Duke Duillaume of Spatz-Hohenburg. The royal wedding

Film Review
The talents of Michel Aumont, Thierry Lhermitte and Anémone are pretty much wasted
on this predictable misfired farce. Admittedly, there are one or two quite good
visual gags, and a spirited comic turn from Jean-Claude Brialy, but the grotesque silliness
of the plot, ludicrous comicbook characterisation and uninspired direction greatly diminish
its entertainment value.
