Storyline
Roger Martin is a private investigator completely broke. A woman asks him to investigate her husband she suspects to have an affair.
Concept
« A splendid affair » is a remake. With Stéphane and Florence, we shot the first version in SVHS in 1991. Stephane is already the detective, Florence is the client, my cousin Natacha is the secretary and I am the husband. This film had a nice career at that time. It was broadcasted on Canal +. But the original film of 1991 has aged a lot. So we did the remake. Since then, we filmed a new version during the confinement, subtly titled « A Case During Confinement » and we have extended the adventures of the detective and his secretary in a series « Private ».
