In the final years of the French Monarchy, all that matters is the amount of wit one possesses. (boy, there are a lot of Ss in possesses.). Our hero is trying to get in tight with the monarch to pay for some land improvements, but comes to realize the denizens of the court are totally ridiculous. Instead, he falls for the voluptuous doctor’s daughter (who would rather go diving than anything else) , and tells all the snobs to shove it. I’m not sure how to critique this. It’s pretty much what I said. Highlights of the movie? A few witty remarks perhaps.
