Description of this Le Magnifique Poster
Le Magnifique is a French-Italian international co-production released in 1973, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jacqueline Bisset and Vittorio Caprioli, and directed by Philippe de Broca. The Magnificent is a slapstick satire of B-movie spy novels and movies and the men who write them, especially James Bond.
François Merlin (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a writer of Jean Bruce-type spy novels (he has written 42 to date), and about half of the film takes place in his imagination, where he is the world-famous superspy “Bob Sinclar” (the character’s name is never written in the film; while some people write his name as “Saint-Clair,” the way it’s pronounced in French sounds like Sinclar; in the English-dubbed soundtrack, the last name is “St. Cloud”).
Christine (Jacqueline Bisset) is a sociology student who lives in François’s apartment building and is interested in novels, but in the writer’s imagination, she becomes Tatiana, his lover, while the wealthy and pompous publisher of her novels, Pierre Charron (Vittorio Caprioli), is the arch-villain of spy novels, the head of the Albanian secret service Karpov, who, in a memorable scene in the film, threatens to cut off one of Tatiana’s breasts.
Christine is clearly fascinated by the handsome spy Bob Sinclar, an unrealistic and idealized hero, who is the complete opposite of his creator: a divorced, clumsy, and frustrated man who barely makes enough money to get by. However, when she befriends the wealthy and vain publisher who despises her poor writer, she realizes her mistake and, after an evening in which he tries to seduce her, she runs away from him and falls asleep on the landing of the writer’s apartment, where he finds her in the morning, apparently wearing nothing but a T-shirt, and kisses her for a happy ending. In the final scene, Francis throws his last manuscript over the balcony, thus freeing himself from his character and his imaginary life.
