See the most agreed on films →In the 1950s, a suave but comically arrogant French secret agent is sent to Cairo to investigate the disappearance of a colleague. Blithely unaware of cultural sensitivities and obsessed with his own charm, he bumbles through the investigation. His outdated methods and casual sexism create international incidents at every turn. The film is a parody of classic spy thrillers, where the hero's confidence far exceeds his actual competence.
