A Very Secret Service
Created by Jean-François Halin, Claire Lemaréchal, Jean-André Yerlès
On ARTE
A satirical 1960s French spy comedy that mines bureaucratic absurdity and Cold War paranoia for laughs while maintaining affection for its protagonist's earnest fumbling.
At the height of the Cold War in 1960, André Merlaux joins the French Secret Service and contends with enemies both foreign and bureaucratic.
