The Little Bather
1968 · 96 MIN · IMDB 6.6 · 4,778 VOTES · DIR. Robert Dhéry
Overview
Louis-Philippe Fourchaume, another typical lead-role for French comedy superstar Louis de Funès, is the dictatorial CEO of a French company which designs and produces sail yachts, and fires in yet another tantrum his designer André Castagnier, not realizing that man is his only chance to land a vital contract with the Italian magnate Marcello Cacciaperotti. So he has to find him at his extremely rural birthplace in 'la France profonde', which proves a torturous odyssey for the spoiled rich man; when he does get there his torment is far from over: the country bumpkin refuses to resume his slavish position now the shoe is on the other foot, so Fourchaume is dragged along in the boorish family life, and at times unable to control his temper, which may cost him more credit then he painstakingly builds up...

00:08:54 Can I introduce to you: Mr. Castagnier.
00:12:04 Shut up. Shut up.
00:15:49 Mr. Fourchaume? -He's there.
00:18:10 Yes, a prototype.
00:20:17 It's my last chance. Monday's too late.
00:23:13 But it's very simple. The barn in Darlot.
00:27:34 In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:31:14 Write it out to Father Castagnier.
00:33:05 She said to me: Lets go to André on Sunday.
00:35:34 Ouch, damn.
00:38:29 Remember your diet.
00:42:39 Upstairs? No, it's too cold to eat there.
00:46:30 Did you hurt yourself? -Not at all.
00:48:36 The doctor said the nerve was almost damaged. By 2 centimeters.
00:51:21 Look, what an idiot, the carrot-head.
00:55:53 How did they like it? Where are they?
01:00:16 How does it stop?
01:03:56 I'm not really with it today.
01:08:22 They can't hear me.
01:11:55 Why don't you want to play for Mrs. Fourchaume?
01:15:34 I can't go any further.
01:20:52 Quickly, quickly. He fainted.
01:24:20 He wants the Little Bather to remain French.
