Review of Lucky Jo

I've seen in my childhood and then in my adolescence a few light comedies by Michel Deville: Kiss Me General(1966)Martin Soldat (original title), The Bear and the Doll(1970) L'ours et la poupée (original title), The Woman in Blue(1973) La femme en bleu (original title). And I've seen Eddie Constantine in a few entertaining comedy thrillers. In this one he's doing what he knows best, pure comedy and some good beating. He is more natural than in anything else I've seen him, plus he has a very convincing melancholic air. It also occurs at some point and a puppy dog who actually plays a role. Georges Wilson is good as always in the role of good friend Simon. Jean-Pierre Darras is natural as well. Nice good simple film. Also, beautiful music by Georges Delerue.
