Nobody Else But You

After traveling a very long distance in absolutely miserable weather to discover that the only thing a relative left him in her will was the stuffed body of her dead dog, mystery writer David Rousseau (Jean-Paul Rouve) is, understandably, depressed. The fact that he hasn’t yet started his new book, even though his editor is waiting for the overdue final draft, only adds to his personal darkness. It takes a strange death – in this case the apparent suicide of a local TV celebrity — to shake Rousseau out of his funk and set him on the trail of a real life adventure that just could become the novel idea he’s been looking for. If the mystery of what happened to the beautiful blonde TV weather girl was all that there was to follow in Nobody Else But You, it still would be a heck of a movie. Director Gérald Hustache-Mathieu has a much bigger picture in mind, though, a picture filled with humor, humanity, romance and really fine acting, particularly in the performances of Rouve as the rumpled writer and the absolutely incandescent Sophie Quinton as the bombshell, Candice Lecoeur.
