Lucky Pierre (French: La moutarde me monte au nez, lit. 'The Mustard Is Rising Into My Nose'; also known as I'm Losing My Temper) is a 1974 French comedy film directed by Claude Zidi.

Plot

Pierre Dubois is a mathematics teacher (part-time stripper) at an all-girls high school in Aix-en-Provence. He also works as a ghostwriter for his father the mayor, who is seeking re-election, and for his friend who works for a tabloid newspaper.

When Pierre's students sitch the contents of his folders as a joke, a speech for the mayor, an article on a famous actress, and his students' papers all end up in the wrong hands.

Pierre finds himself on a film set trying to resolve the mix-up, and ends up spending the night at the house of a famous actress. The tabloids catch wind, and the next day's headlines provoke dismay for the mayor and for Pierre's fiancée.
