MYSTERY IN ST TROPEZ

This is one crazy, fulfilled and wacky French comedy in the spirit of those ludicrous but fun Blake Edwards Pink Panther Films. A whodunit set in a glamorous villa on the French Riviera in the seventies, the film stars A-list French speaking actors Christian Clavier, Benoit Poelvoorde and the ever ubiquitous Gérard Depardieu. Plus Pedro Almodóvar muse, Rossy De Palma.

In the tradition of classic comedies, MYSTERY IN ST TROPEZ is a whodunit set in a glamorous villa on the French Riviera in the seventies. The film stars A-list French speaking actors Christian Clavier, Benoit Poelvoorde and Gérard Depardieu. Plus Pedro Almodóvar muse, Rossy De Palma.

Every summer, the Billionaire Tranchant and his wife Eliane host the glamorous world of celebrities in their luxurious mansion in the south of France. When a criminal car sabotage related to threatening letters wreak havoc in the villa, Tranchant goes in search of the best agent for the investigation. In the middle of this hot summer, only the arrogant and incompetent agent Boullin is available... To catch the suspect and solve the mystery, he will have no choice but to impersonate a newly hired butler and will turn everyone’s vacation into a hilarious game of 'Cluedo’!

“(Writer/Star) Christian Clavier embodies an inspector Clouseau who looks exactly like the one played in the past by Peter Sellers (and more recently Steve Martin).”
