Claude Brasseur stars in this cinemadaptation of the Moliere play Georges Dandin, ou le mari confondu.
Written in 1668, the play has been somewhat dwarfed by such like-vintage Moliere classics as The Imaginary Invalid.
Still, it was popular enough in its time to inspire imitation, most notably Betterton's Don Juan and The Amorous Widow.
The plot, involving a wealthy man's avoidance of marriage until he is trapped by a crafty widow, is but a peg upon which to hang any number of comic complications and character vignettes.
Brasseur's leading lady is the toothsome Zabou.
