Le sauvage (1975)

Catherine Deneuve made her mark as a sexy sophisticate, but she’s equally impressive in this unusual turn as a screwable screwball in Le Sauvage (1975). She’s fleeing from her fiancé when she stumbles across middle-aged Yves Montand. He’s on the run, too, and their problems only get worse after Deneuve swipes a valuable painting from nightclub owner Tony Roberts. Slapstick and hijinks ensue, but the film doesn’t become too much of a generic American comedy. Deneuve still shows off some European sophistication--and an amazing bod that remains no laughing matter.
