Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Roger Pierre and Jean-Marc Thibault were France's most popular comedy duo in the 1960s, making 11 films together. This was their spy phase.
The title 'Les Malabars sont au parfum' references both chewing gum (Malabar) and spy slang—peak 1960s French pop culture wordplay that barely translates.
