English title: A Cloud in the Teeth
Two reporters roam Paris in search of newsworthy incidents. During a news coverage, one of them loses his two kids. After a fruitless search, they begin to suspect the kids have been kidnapped. They get in touch with their newspaper, who in turn decides to run headlines with the story. A citywide search is put in motion, with comical results.
The vogue of buddy movies was rising at the time, only this movie is a little atypical for having reporters instead of cops as protagonists. The only review in English I found for this movie, by IMDB commenter Klaas-2, sums it up well: "hilarious, perhaps somewhat overdone". Anyway, I think their depiction of newspapers' ethical standards is perfectly believable.
Rating: 51
