''Wild and Wonderful'' is a 1964 film comedy starring Tony Curtis and his then-wife Christine Kaufmann (whom he had married in 1963). The plot revolves around a clever French poodle named Monsieur Cognac, and the dog's effect on the newly married couple portrayed by Curtis and Kaufmann.〔("'Wild and Wonderful' is Wild and Wacky Fun" ), ''Boxoffice reprinted in ''Evening Independent'', June 4, 1964.〕 The film was Curtis's last under his long contractual relationship with Universal Studios.〔(Biography ) at tonycurtis.com official website.〕 The film had six credited writers, including Waldo Salt, who was then still working his way back from years on the Hollywood blacklist and who reportedly "hated" the film. In his 1999 obituary for Larry Markes, another of the credited writers, Dick Vosburgh of ''The Independent'' commented, "Critics found it hard to accept that it had taken six writers to fashion the wafer-thin tale of a jazz flautist whose marriage to a French film star is threatened by the jealous tricks of Monsieur Cognac, her neurotic, alcoholic French poodle."〔 .〕 In his obituary for Tony Curtis in 2010, Dave Kehr dismissed the film as "disastrous," noting that Curtis was rebuilding his reputation after an earlier affair with Kaufmann, his co-star in ''Wild and Wonderful'', and subsequent divorce from Janet Leigh. ==Cast== * Tony Curtis as Terry Williams * Christine Kaufmann as Giselle Ponchon * Larry Storch as Rufus Gibbs * Pierre Olaf as Jacquot * Marty Ingels as Doc Bailey * Jacques Aubuchon as Papa Ponchon * Sarah Marshall as Pamela * Marcel Dalio as Dr. Reynard * Jules Munshin as Rousseleau * Marcel Hillaire as Inspector Duviver * Cliff Osmond as Hercule * Fifi D'Orsay as Simone * Vito Scotti as Andre * Steven Geray as Bartender * Stanley Adams as Mayor of Man La Loquet 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wild and Wonderful」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
