Si mon moine voulait..., also known as L'Heptaméron, Vertudieu! or Joyeux compères) is a Canadian-French sex comedy film, directed by Claude Pierson and released in 1973. An anti-clerical film adapted in part from Marguerite de Navarre's 16th-century short story collection Heptaméron, the film stars Jean-Marie Proslier and Gilles Latulippe as two Roman Catholic monks who move to a small town in 18th century New France, ostensibly to live a simple religious life but really with the ulterior motive of seducing and having sex with the town's attractive and lascivious women away from the eyes of the church hierarchy. The cast includes Catherine Rouvel, Marco Perrin, Alice Arno, Marcel Sabourin, Louise Turcot, Roger Carel, Chantal de Rieux, Paul Préboist, Darry Cowl, Michel Galabru, Monique Tarbès, Roseline Hoffman, Sylvie Joly, Rachel Cailhier, Mag-Avril, Sophie Bacquet, Danièle Paradis, Rosine Young and Guy Hoffmann.
