What happens

Cherchez l'idole (Italian title: Sciarada alla francese, English title: The Chase) is a 1964 French-Italian film directed by Michel Boisrond. Enjoying great success in Japan, notably with the interpretation of Sylvie Vartan and her single La Plus Belle pour aller danser composed for the film and sold millions of copies, the film is considered the instigator of the fashion for Japanese idols and has had a strong impact on the Japanese recording industry as well as Japanese culture in general.
