About the movie:
François Merlin (Belmondo) is a pulp espionage novels author who attempts to write his 43rd book, featuring superspy Bob Sinclar, from his dusty apartment, in his pajamas and charentaises. About half of the film plays in his imagination, where he is Bob Sinclar, flamboyantly battling villains in exotic countries, surrounded by beautiful women. A very entertaining spoof on James Bond movies and Gérard de Villiers pulp novels by master of French comedies Philippe de Broca.
