About Les malabars sont au parfum
All sorts of spies are buzzing around Michel, whose cow, Dorothée, produces 200 liters of milk a day thanks to a treatment of his own invention. Dorothée is kidnapped and found. But now everyone disowns her. No matter! Dorothée's productivity will enrich Michel and his wife Nicole, who have opened a rotisserie; milk cocktails are in fashion.
Directed by Guy Lefranc, Les malabars sont au parfum leans on a strong ensemble — Roger Pierre, Jean-Marc Thibault, Darry Cowl — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1966.
