“I have been searching for this film — in any format — for years. I saw it twice in two days in the late sixties at a small museum theater that showed mostly foreign and art films. And although it is, admittedly, a slight film and probably no oneu0026#39;s idea of a great cinematic masterpiece, it has more charm than 99 out of 100 Hollywood comedies. It may be that the anarchic feeling of the film dovetailed so well with our own rebelliousness of that era. Maybe it was the dog. I imagine running it on a double bill with Marcel Pagnolu0026#39;s u0026quot;The Bakeru0026#39;s Wifeu0026quot; — now THAT would be something!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have scoured the websites and catalogs of lots of distributors looking for some evidence that u0026quot;Alexandreu0026quot; is out there somewhere, aspiring to a new life on DVD (or even VHS!), but to no avail. Letu0026#39;s hope this charming gem of a comedy is not lost forever — THAT would be a tragedy!”
