We saw "Merci, Docteur Rey" last night (10/18/2003) at Reel Affirmations, the DC GLBT Film Fest (say that 10 times fast), and thought it was one of the most delightful screwball comedies ever made. Judging by audience reaction, we were not alone. It's a stretch to say that there are "intricate" plot twists; however, if you want a combination of Tracy & Hepburn with Lucy & Ricky, and then have the Monty Python gang thrown in along with Inspector Clouseau, then don't miss Docteur Rey.
