La vendetta

There's one funny sequence at the beginning of the film: in the cemetery , the captain delivers a speech supposed to pay a tribute to the late mayor but which quickly turns into his own election campaign.

The rest is a festival of camp,Francis Blanche becomes tiresome in the long run ,and De Funès left to his own devises hams it up in her part of a father who does not want his daughter to date boys and who has already killed twelve persons:in Corsica ,should one believe the screenwriters ,they are not the sort you can have a joke with .It takes someone like Gérard Oury to direct De Funès.

Filmed on location ,on the island , unfortunately in black and white ;as the story is tedious, it's too bad for the landscapes could have made up for it.
