La chèvre (1981)

 English titles: Knock on Wood; The Goat

A wealthy man's daughter is kidnapped while vacationing in Mexico. No ransom is asked, and after an unsuccessful attempt at finding her, a new strategy is proposed by one of her father's employees: seeing as the kidnapped woman is notoriously acident-prone, they should hire an equally accident-prone person to accompany the detective in charge of finding her. The theory is that, by suffering the same kind of misfortunes the young woman suffered, that person might stumble into a lead into her whereabouts.

Comedy consisting basically of the development of a single idea (expressed in the synopsis above). It's watchable but nothing extraordinary.

Rating: 42
