Synopsis
L'Opération Corned Beef (1991) is a French spy comedy from director Jean-Marie Poiré — watch online on iFILM for a chaotic clash of espionage and bedroom farce starring Jean Reno and Christian Clavier. Intelligence captain Bouley is running a surveillance operation against an illegal arms dealer, tapping the phone of a consul's secretary who acts as the middleman.
The plan unravels when the secretary books a holiday with her husband, threatening to go dark right at the critical moment. The solution: send a female operative to compromise the husband and cancel the trip. The catch — she happens to be Bouley's own girlfriend.
Two years before Poiré made his name with Les Visiteurs, this one shows the same instinct for escalating chaos played with straight faces. Reno and Clavier commit completely to the absurdity, and that deadpan delivery is exactly what makes it funny. Stream L'Opération Corned Beef (1991) online on iFILM.
