Travel executive Catherine Deneuve goes to Africa to develop a vacation resort project, stoking her combustible relationship with estranged hubby Philippe Noiret, a bush pilot and merchant who is battling a band of elephant poachers. Predating Romancing the Stone, de Broca’s female-driven jaunt and remarriage comedy, was A-list all the way: Gérard Brach co-conceived the story, Claude Berri produced, and Georges Delerue composed the score.
