Raymonde Chandebise suspects her husband Victor-Emmanuel of cheating on her. She received a package from the hotel "Le minet galant".

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Flea in the Ear is an acquired taste at 5.3/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1956. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
