And the Russians too. In fact, save the entire Middle East. Under cover as a poultry fancier, OSS 117-handsome and irresistibly suave, suitably arrogant but culturally clueless-gives his all for his country, in Cairo, in bed and in the dark.THE VALET:When French tycoon Pierre Levasseur is spied with his supermodel mistress Elena, the pictures end up on the front page of a Paris daily.

Trying to keep one step ahead of his dubious wife, Pierre engineers it so a naive car-park valet, Veber's recurring fool Fran ois Pignon, appears to be Elena's boyfriend, moving her into his flat and his life. As Pierre's web of deceit widens, so do the possibilities of discovery-and with them disaster after hilarious disaster.PRICELESS:R ne is an old-fashioned gold-digger, seducing rich older men in return for dresses, trinkets and baubles.

Jean tags along hopefully but Ir ne proceeds to viciously bleed him dry before unceremoniously dumping him. But when a rich older woman adopts Jean as her plaything, Ir ne becomes intrigued and starts to instruct him in her dark arts..
