Avec Francis PERRIN, Marie-Christine DESCOUARD, Isabelle MEJIAS, Evelyne BUYLE, Fanny COTTENCON, Patrick FONT, Sophie AGACINSKI, Maurice BAQUET, Jean-Paul FARRE …

Georges Le Roi vit de petits boulots et sa vie sentimentale se partage entre deux petites amies jusqu'au jour où il tombe amoureux de la belle Sophie, employée par un institut de sondage. Georges enregistre une déclaration à son intention mais la cassette est par erreur diffusée dans toute l'entreprise. Le succès est immédiat et Sophie commercialise la prose romantique de son soupirant.

(Georges Wolinski wrote this comedy in conjunction with Paul Claudon (producer) and Claude Confortes (director), based on his own cartoon strips, and in particular, his character "Georges le Roi" (Francis Perrin in the film.) Georges is the self-styled "king of sex appeal" whose creatively brilliant words of love manage to enchant women right into his bed, no problem. At least, no problem until an enterprising woman decides to record Georges' flights of romantic poetics and market them for everyman's use. Suddenly, blissful anonymity is gone and a world is waiting with baited breath to meet the incredible Georges - but woe to Georges, the woman's treacherous act against the once libidinous bachelor has an unexpected result. How to remedy the situation then, before the truth about Georges gets out?)
