OSS 117: Cairo, Nest Of Spies
"A box-office sensation in France, comic star Jean Dujardin stars as secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, a.k.a. OSS 117 who in the tradition of Maxwell Smart and Inspector Clouseau somehow succeeds in spite of his ineptitude. After a fellow agent and close friend is murdered, Hubert is ordered to take his place at the head of a poultry firm in Cairo. This is to be his cover while he investigates Jack's death, monitors the Suez Canal, checks up on the Brits and Soviets, burnishes France's reputation, quells a fundamentalist rebellion and brokers peace in the Middle East."
When I watched this I assumed it was an older film, but it was made in 2006 (I think). The furniture and costumes are fantastic, but the politcally incorrect moments fooled me. OSS 117 is available on Netflix or Amazon.
