Another good film by Roger Richebé ,a director who little by little is restored to favor in France .I must say I've never seen a bad movie by him."J'ai Une Idée" is a zany little comedy with Raimu on top of his game.The far-fetched story -it's a play transferred to the screen- is a little treat: involving English squires short of the readies,eager to latch onto a heritage (but their creditors are around the corner),explosives,nudity (Raimu),a burdensome -and a bit nymphomaniac- widow,exoticism (Raimu telling his so called trip to Mexico is worth the price of admission:"I went out of the station and there were Mexicans" ),smart servants,a reverend , revolutionary governments and above all,Raimu's wife's ideas each one crazier than the other.Roger Richebé was perhaps helped by his first -rate actors (Raimu here,Arletty in "Madame Sans Gene" ),but he always knew how to get the best of them!
