豆知識

The Devil by the Tail is a 1969 French-Italian comedy film directed by Philippe de Broca and starring Yves Montand, Madeleine Renaud and Maria Schell. The French title refers to the idiom "Tirer le diable par la queue", meaning struggling to make ends meet.

Background

Filming took place from 25 June to 13 August 1968, using the Château de Fléchères in Ain, near Villefranche-sur-Saône.

The film has been described as luminous and full of the joys of being alive, with "some passages worthy of Lubitsch as to the scope of the allusions, the level of mastery of double-meanings, ...the film bathes in an atmosphere of calmly uninhibited pleasure".

There are several themes in Delerue's score, the "Jeanne's theme" is serene and melancolic, while "César's theme" is more dance like, and adapted for the comic church scene. These excerpts from the score were issued on an EP.
