If the urge to laugh out loud were to take hold of us, there is little more irresistible than this saraband of crazy gags led at a cracking pace by a few Englishmen from Monty Python, with the exuberant complicity of Jamie Le Curtis.
At 9 p.m. on Arte. Film directed by Charles Crichton (USA / GB, 1988). 105 mins. With John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline. Rebroadcast.

Shocking portrait before the Olympic Games: Violette Morris was an all-terrain champion, from cars to bicycles, including the javelin. A bisexual star in a suit, she switched to the side of the Nazis before being killed by the resistance. A mysterious trajectory revisited in finesse.
At 10:50 p.m. on France 5. Documentary by Marie-Christine Gambard (France, 2023). 60 mins. Unpublished.

Diary of a seducer: “The Heartbreaker”
Romain Duris and Vanessa Paradis.
Quad Films
Not handsome, but charming, an impossible chat, the gift of crying on command and excellent organization: Romain Duris is perfect in the role of a professional housewrecker. A comedy that happily runs on the heels of Philippe de Broca.
At 9:10 p.m. on W9. Film directed by Pascal Chaumeil (France, 2010). 120 min. With Romain Duris, Vanessa Paradis. Rebroadcast.
