About That damn Amédée
Mr. Placard, impresario of shock, lost the headliner of his show, Elia Tarti. Amédée introduces himself, he can highlight his gifts of fantasy. Randomly along the way, Amédée notices a seductive hitchhiker named Cigale. This one disappears again, kidnapped by Prince Kanaga. Assisted by a friend, Amédée flies in his footsteps and discovers in Nice that Cigale is none other than Elia Tari, capricious, disdainful and snobbish star.
Directed by Louis Félix, That damn Amédée leans on a strong ensemble — Philippe de Chérisey, Jacques Dufilho, Françoise Fabian — 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 1957.
