On aura tout vu is a 1976 French comedy film directed by Georges Lautner and produced by Alain Poiré through Gaumont International. The script, penned by Francis Veber, offers a satirical perspective on the movie industry.
Plot
François Perrin (played by Pierre Richard), an advertising photographer with ambitions to become a filmmaker, collaborates with his friend Henri to write a screenplay titled Le miroir de l'âme. When they fail to secure a producer, François approaches Bob Morlock (Jean-Pierre Marielle), a producer known for adult films, who retitles the project La vaginale. This alteration causes tension between François and his partner Christine (Miou-Miou).

Business and Production Notes
Screenwriter Francis Veber and director Georges Lautner developed this film during the emergence of pornographic cinema in the U.S. Pierre Richard dedicated himself fully to this production, turning down a part in The Wing or the Thigh (1976). The musical score, created by Philippe Sarde, incorporates motifs that resemble those found in Lautner’s later work Death of a Corrupt Man (1977).
Distribution
Handled by Gaumont Distribution, On aura tout vu enhanced Gaumont’s collection of French comedies from the 1970s, strengthening its standing both domestically and abroad.
