He falls in love with her, but fears that Amédée will kill him, who in turn only wants to repay the composer's fee and is not thinking of killing him.

Reviews

"Mediocre situational comedy in which an unsuccessful composer sneaks up his killer while at the same time rescuing an equally unsuccessful chansonette from the Seine, making it famous and barely able to save himself from being murdered."

“Harmless film fun with Louis de Funès about a composer who was unsuccessful in his professional and private life [...]. Nice fun from 12 onwards. "
