Devastated by the news of his wife's affair with the suave Dr. Piquet (Jean-Michel Cannone), Cesario Garibaldi (Marcello Mastroianni) hatches a plan with Dr. Piquet's wife, Pamela (Julie Andrews). Neither of them realized, however, that curtailing the extramarital bliss of their respective spouses would lead to a tricky liason of their own. Based on François Billetdoux's play Tchin-Tchin, this sex farce is set in Paris and directed by Gene Saks. This is not the first time Saks has tried his hand at filming plays; the director is also responsible for the film versions of Biloxi Blues, The Brighton Beach Memoirs, and Bye Bye Birdie.

In this gentle comedy, Mado (Marianne Groves) is the letter-carrier for her small town, and she is constantly on the lookout for a good Catholic man who shares her enthusiasm for sunrises. She even puts up posters on trees and walls advertising her interest. The townspeople make fun of her, but she isn't discouraged. Her best friend is Germaine (Isabelle Gelinas), a pretty girl whose moral standards are not as strict as Mado's. When a film director (Oleg Yankovsky) arrives in town, everyone is agog, but Mado is particularly keen to find out about him. However, it seems that he has his eye on Germaine, and he isn't really in her league anyhow. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Though he has absolutely no combat experience, Benton is promoted to artillery lieutenant and assigned to lead Saunders' squad on a mission to destroy a vital section of the German railway. Determined to prove himself worthy of the assignment, "Billy the Kid" adopts a pose of reckless bravado that may well cost Saunders (Vic Morrow) his life. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
