Description of this The Magnificent Poster
Le Magnifique is an international Franco-Italian co-production released in 1973, with Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jacqueline Bisset and Vittorio Caprioli, and directed by Philippe de Broca. The Magnificent is a burlesque satire of B-movies and spy novels and the men who write them, particularly James Bond.
François Merlin (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a writer of Jean Bruce-type spy novels (he has written 42 to date) and about half the film takes place in his imagination, where he is the super-spy of world famous "Bob Sinclar" (the character's name is never written in the film, while some people write his name "Saint-Clair", the way it is pronounced in French sounds like Sinclar; in the dubbed soundtrack in English, the family name is "St Cloud").
Christine (Jacqueline Bisset) is a sociology student who lives in François's building and is interested in novels, but in the writer's imagination she becomes Tatiana, his lover, while the rich and pompous publisher of his novels, Pierre Charron (Vittorio Caprioli), is the big bad of the spy novels, the head of the Albanian secret service Karpov, who, in a memorable scene in the film, threatens to cut off one of Tatiana's breasts.
Christine is clearly fascinated by handsome spy Bob Sinclar, an unrealistic and idealized hero who is the complete opposite of his creator: an awkward, frustrated divorced man who barely makes enough money to get by. However, when she befriends the rich and vain publisher who despises his poor writer, she realizes her mistake and, after an evening where he tries to seduce her, she runs away from him and falls asleep on the landing of the writer's apartment, where he finds her in the morning, apparently dressed in a simple t-shirt, and kisses her for a happy ending. In the final scene, François throws his last manuscript over the balcony, thus freeing himself from his character and his imaginary life.
