Trivia:
In the final scene in the garden - where Philipe is sitting on the bench, there is a poem by Dorothy Frances Gurney written on the bench. Many garden lovers have this poem written in their gardens. It says: "Kiss of the sun for pardon. Song of the birds for mirth. You're closer to God's heart in a garden than any place else on earth."

This is a tale of four men from different backgrounds - a judge, a pilot, a TV celebrity and a chef - who decide to retreat to a large old house to indulge themselves with a gluttonous feast. And also to enliven the soiree, they hire some prostitutes, as well as a female teacher. They consume a huge assortment of various food, from pork and chicken, to pate and deserts. This leads to gastronomical problems with excess flatulence. Also, the judge is in love with the teacher and wants to marry her, but doesn't mind that she sleeps with the other three fellows. It seems to be just a mass orgy of food and women, with the outcome being inevitable tragedy. But it is remarkably well acted with a talented cast. Bon appétit!
