Jeu de Dames, la libération des femmes (1973), a film by director Christian Lara, is a vaguely subversive charm flick that won't be remembered for a long time. An amusing detail, however, is that Georges de Caunes, father of Antoine de Caunes, the famous French TV personality, plays the lead role alongside Danielle Palmero. Faced with this commercial failure, the unscrupulous producer at the time, anxious to save his investments, decided to re-edit the film so that it could be screened in the X-rated circuit. The film was a dud, but as for the music, Jean Claudric is particularly inspired and offers one of the best French jazz funk soundtracks, which would not blush at the comparison with the best of the genre, such as Michel Legrand's Un homme est mort, or Jean-Pierre Mirouze's Le mariage collectif (BORNBAD 044LP, 2012), previously released by Born Bad.
