Le petit baigneur Movie Reviews

Castagnierrrrrrr, after fifty years that’s still the first thing we think of when we see a redhead.

Louis de Funès will always remain the best French comedian there ever was. His mimics, his nervous character, his shouting and raging, I just can’t get enough of it. I watched Le Petit Baigneur so many times, like all other movies with Louis de Funès, and it’s still funny. It’s the kind of comedies that remind me of my youth, when watching a movie with Louis de Funès was a family thing, a guarantee for a funny movie night. Le Petit Baigneur is probably not his best one, but it’s certainly not the worst either. Even after more than fifty years later I still think about Castagnier every time I see a ginger head passing by. There are old movies that don’t age well, but this one is not one of them, it’s still as funny as the first time I watched it.

Louis de Funès in top shape

Pretty funny comedy, with an original plot and a De Funès in brilliant, manic top shape. He is ably supported by a fine group of comedic actors and actresses.

As a movie, “Le petit baigneur” is perhaps a tad overlong, but there is much to enjoy. There is at least one superbly staged scene which has achieved cinematic immortality, and deservedly so : a scene in a Roman Catholic church, in which a priest notices the presence of a (very) rich man amidst the congregation. From the pulpit, the priest launches into an impassioned appeal for financial support. The church building, he notes, has become so neglected and so unsafe that it might as well be called “Our Lady of the Draughts”. As the priest goes on and on about the dire condition of the building, it becomes clear that he is not exaggerating : the pulpit is pretty much disintegrating before our eyes. The sermon, as all good sermons should, ends with a bang…

If this scene does not make you laugh your head off, contact the nearest doctor.

Louis de Funès is so funny!

Louis de Funès is so funny. A lot of his movie would be plain bad if he wasn’t the main actor. He’s so good playing the avaricious industrial, just like in “Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob”. “Le Petit baigneur” is not as good, though, as “Rabbi Jacob”. It’s funny but some scenes drag on and no (ex. the church who’s crumbling apart or the tractor scene). But still a pleasant 90 minutes.

Out of 100, I give it 72. That’s good for ** out of ****.

Seen at home, in Toronto, on November 25th, 2002.
