A standard Louis de Funès vehicle. With that you have actually summarized Sur un Arbre Perché. Little worth mentioning with the biggest plus being the developments while it largely takes place at one location. Cast, characters, dialogues, ... mwah. Nice atmosphere makes for a sufficient.

This is certainly not the best film by Louis de Funès, but the story itself was liked because how do you come up with a story in which a car goes off the road due to tumult and ends up in a tree (on the rocks and above the sea) and where almost the whole story takes place 
The nicely made up story is nice and the same goes for its execution including the visual part of the environment where the story takes place. There is also plenty to laugh about and of course especially about the tantrum frog Louis de Funès. The other cast (quite limited) also does a decent job and it's quite funny that Geraldine Chaplin, who is the eldest child of the famous actor and comedian Charlie Chaplin, also has a role in this film as the young woman (she saw also looks pretty nice and certainly because of the summer conditions, which means that at one point she is half naked (there is no nudity to be seen, can be admired in the car) with a lap dog that Louis de Funès takes along on the way. And the same goes for the son of Louis de Funès, namely Olivier De Funès, in the role of a young hitchhiker.
Because the story mainly takes place in the car, you more or less get a bond with the characters and you also create a nice atmosphere. The summer conditions also help with the latter. Here and there the film is a bit boring and also a bit long-winded and of course you soon have that when a film revolves around three characters (I don't count the dog) and one location. The film does not last long at about 90 minutes, which makes it nice to watch.
All in all just a nice old-fashioned classic from Louis de Funès that used to be seen on television and that was of course also made in a good year

Very entertaining film that departs from an original approach. Credits must of course go to the book on which the film is based. Louis de Funès is doing brilliantly as usual and he has good opponents in son Olivier and especially Geraldine Chaplin. For Olivier it would be his last film as he opted for a career as a pilot.
It is a film with a nice pace and it is well portrayed. The regular long shots contribute to the atmosphere in which the three find themselves. The starting situation is of course crazy and towards the end with the interference of the outside world it gets even crazier. Passed!
