Description

André Castagnier est inventeur de prototypes de bateaux sur un chantier naval dirigé d’une poigne de fer par Philippe Fourchaume. Ce dernier renvoie le concepteur en apprenant le fiasco de l’un de leurs exemplaires avant d’apprendre que celui appelé « Le Petit Baigneur » est un franc succès. Déçu, Castagnier se tourne vers un autre chantier géré par Marcello Cacciaperotti et met en vente « Le Petit Baigneur » qui se vend en masse. Envieux, Fourchaume tente alors de reconquérir Castagnier et sa création.

Titre : The Little Bather

Synopsis : Louis-Philippe Fourchaume, another typical lead-role for French comedy superstar Louis de Funès, is the dictatorial CEO of a French company which designs and produces sail yachts, and fires in yet another tantrum his designer André Castagnier, not realizing that man is his only chance to land a vital contract with the Italian magnate Marcello Cacciaperotti. So he has to find him at his extremely rural birthplace in 'la France profonde', which proves a torturous odyssey for the spoiled rich man; when he does get there his torment is far from over: the country bumpkin refuses to resume his slavish position now the shoe is on the other foot, so Fourchaume is dragged along in the boorish family life, and at times unable to control his temper, which may cost him more credit then he painstakingly builds up...
