Voulant imiter les hommes, Saturnin devient tour à tour capitaine de sapeurs pompiers, journaliste, torero, jardinier, etc. Et il se lance à corps perdu dans les plus folles aventures : il va photographier le monstre du Lac Noir que personne n’a jamais vu, il se déguise en Père Noël, il se retrouve emprisonné au château d’If. Chaque fois, il lui faut beaucoup de courage et d’astuce pour déjouer les pièges que lui tend Belette, son ennemie héréditaire. Les jeunes téléspectateurs retrouveront avec joie dans ce livre le héros des films célèbres de Jean Tourane.

1985 film by Gérard Vergez

After a wizard's spell goes awry, 12th-century Gallic knight Godefroy de Papincourt, Count of Montmirail finds himself transported to 1993, along with his dimwitted servant, Jacquouille la Fripouille. Startled and perplexed by modern technology, the duo run amok, destroying cars and causing chaos until they meet Beatrice de Montmirail, an aristocratic descendant of the nobleman, who may be able to help them get back to 1123.

Herbie, the Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own, is racing in the Monte Carlo Rally. But thieves have hidden a cache of stolen diamonds in Herbie's gas tank, and are now trying to get them back.

French Postcards rings both comic and true. The believable, fresh-faced characters are young naives from American colleges spending their French-English dictionaries, they compulsively seek out hundreds of monuments, romanticize the nomadic artist's life, and look for grown-up love. The French tutor them well, as befits their reputation. Jean Rochefort is the harassed headmaster with a hankering for affairs, and Marie-France Pisier is his very sexy wife. Watch for a newcomer named Debra Winger, and another-Mandy Patinkin.

French philosopher Denis Diderot produces the first encyclopedia while indulging in 18th-century decadence.
