Another Ray Austin, so another cast of thousands; the opening sequences of the car chase were
lifted from a Rover commercial produced by Austin & Clemens.
This is the first of the French episodes and it's easy to spot that the soundtrack for Marco's
part was originally in French.
Note the Qantas and Yves Saint Laurent product placement!
The car chase was intended to have a keystone cops slapstick feel, but is more Benny Hill (see enlargement).
