Plot: I laughed myself silly watching this film. Having read Mr. Onderwater's comments, I didn't expect much. What a pleasant surprise I got instead. It has lovely colour photography, the sets are reminiscent of old Dutch paintings, the costumes are put together with great care, the editing is superb, especially where blending in the facial expressions of the animals, the accompanying music is chosen very carefully and - a big plus - the whole romp never gets to be vulgar. It has a surprise beginning and end, involving [the still married in real life] Nadja Tiller and Walter Giller. In short, I enjoyed the picture greatly. Just the thing to watch when you've had an otherwise miserable day....
