Mr. Freedom is a 1969 French satirical superhero film written and directed by expatriate American photographer and filmmaker William Klein. An anti-imperialist farce, it concerns the exploits of the titular white nationalist superhero (John Abbey) and his sidekick, Marie-Madeleine (Delphine Seyrig), as they try to prevent a Communist takeover of France and solve the murder of a French superhero, Capitaine Formidable. In addition to Seyrig, the film features supporting roles and cameos by notable entertainers like Serge Gainsbourg (who also scored the film), Donald Pleasence, Philippe Noiret, Yves Montand and Simone Signoret.
