About La sucette magique
Jacques Marbeuf plays a fortune teller who seduces women with the help of his assistant and manipulated lollipops. One girl reports him to the police; so he decides to run a marriage bureau. Some of his 'female victims' have already changed sides and work for him to lure male clients whom they feed with their 'sucettes magiques'. Even the investigating policemen can't resist them. In the end oil is found on Marbeuf's property in the Camargue and he gets rich.
Directed by Lucien Hustaix, La sucette magique leans on a strong ensemble — Françoise Quentin, Jacques Marbeuf, Jean-Louis Vattier — 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 screen titles of 1976.
