Pleins feux sur Stanislas is a 1965 French-West German co-production directed by Jean-Charles Dudrumet. A spy film that doubles as a comedy, it is a sequel to the 1963 film L'honorable Stanislas, agent secret. Shot in French, it runs about 95 minutes and stars Jean Marais.

The story follows a retired secret agent, Stanislas-Évariste Dubois, who has quit the trade and begun writing his memoirs. His quiet life does not last: a suspicious death and a fresh assignment pull him into a manhunt and a run of busy adventures that confirm the truth of what he has written. Alongside Jean Marais the cast includes Nadja Tiller, André Luguet and Bernadette Lafont, and the cast list also names Alain Nobis, Alice Field, Bernard Lajarrige, Billy Kearns, César Torrès, Clément Harari, Dorothée Blanck, Edmond Tamiz, Édouard Francomme, Edward Meeks, Georges Bever and Guy Grosso.

Michel Cousin and Dudrumet wrote the screenplay together. The film circulated abroad under other titles: Rendezvous der Killer in West Germany, Killer Spy in the United States and O Mistério dos 13 in Portugal.

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

A retired agent is writing his memoirs when a suspicious death and a new assignment drag him back into the game: the set-up is pure spy adventure. A manhunt and a string of busy adventures promise pace. But this is a spy comedy, so the comic side wins out. Jean Marais's charisma carries the film. If you want a serious spy thriller it will feel soft; if you want a fun sixties adventure, it is a good pick.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

For admirers of Jean Marais, Pleins feux sur Stanislas is an elegant piece of sixties entertainment. A retired agent sitting down to write his memoirs and finding himself back in the thick of adventure carries the innocent, playful air of the old spy films. Names such as Nadja Tiller and Bernadette Lafont add colour to the cast. The idea of a hero who proves the truth of what he has written by living it again is a nice touch. Still, as a sequel to the 1963 original, the story follows a familiar pattern; without Marais's charm it might have been ordinary.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

An old French film that blends spying with comedy. A retired agent heading back into adventure can appeal to teenagers and grandparents alike. The plot involves a suspicious death and a manhunt, so it is not ideal for very young children. At about 95 minutes it fits easily into a family evening. Children not used to older films may get a little bored, while grandparents are likely to enjoy it.
