The Man from Acapulco (Original title: Le Magnifique, "The Magnificent") is a 1973 French-Italian action espionage comedy film directed by Philippe de Broca. Bob Saint-Clair is the most sophisticated agent in the world- and the creation of an author, writer of trash novels Françoise Merlin. He always dreamed of writing a good book, but has just finished another novel about the adventures of the invincible agent. Unlike Bob, however, he is faced with everyday worries and a lack of money, despite the fact that his novels are devoured by millions of readers. François often casts people who bother him as enemies Saint-Clair deals with in his novels- like his miserly publisher Charron, who refuses to pay deposits, although François makes him a lot of money, as Saint-Clair's archenemy Colonel Karpof. The character of Tatiana has her basis in Francois' charming neighbor, Christine, a student of sociology. One day, she borrows some of François' books in order to write a study on the reasons for the popularity of such literature. François interpret this as Christine's interest in him. François embarks on a journey of self-discovery and tries to free himself from his fantasy world and the constrains of his life. Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo in the dual roles of writer François Merlin and agent Bob Saint-Clair, and Jacqueline Bisset as student of sociology Christine and agent Tatiana. In the role of greedy publisher Charron and Colonel Karpof is Vittorio Caprioli.
