In French with English subtitles. Also known as
Male Hunt.Widescreen. Directed by
Édouard Molinaro. In this French comedy from director Edouard Molinaro, a young Jean-Paul Belmondo stars as Fernand, a groom-to-be who is dissuaded from stepping up to the altar by his two friends after they terrify him with their personal marriage horror stories. Antoine immediately ditches his bride and heads for Greece, but not before giving his friend Antoine (Jean-Claude Brialy) his honeymoon cruise tickets, where Antoine meets a beautiful woman...
La Chasse à l'Homme boasts possibly the most impressive ensemble of any of director Édouard Molinaro's films. The cast combines long-established actors such as
Micheline Presle,
Bernard Blier and Noël Roquevert with a host of rising stars including
Jean-Paul Belmondo,
Michel Serrault,
Claude Rich and a young
Catherine Deneuve at the start of her illustrious career, along with her equally talented sister Françoise Dorléac. By casting such actors as Belmondo,
Jean-Claude Brialy and
Marie Laforêt, Molinaro clearly had his sights set on the French New Wave, and
La Chasse à l'Homme at times feels like an hilariously evil send-up of the Nouvelle vague of Godard, Truffaut, et al.
