La Belle Américaine English: The American Beauty, is a French comedy film from 1961, directed by Robert Dhéry, written by Alfred Adam, starring Alfred Adam and Louis de Funès. The film was known under the titles: "La bella americana" (Italy), "The American Beauty" (English title), "Der tolle Amerikaner" (West Germany).[1]
in the summer of 1962 in August (before its release in France I now see)i was working near Amsterdam and saw this film in a Dutch cinema. I clearly recall that the experience was surreal and incomprehensible! There was I a Brit watching a French made film about an American car with a French soundtrack and Dutch subtitles. You will forgive me therefore for not providing a synopsis of the film which you can readily read on the Internet Movie DataBase (see the link below)
