Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath is a fictional character created by French author Gaston Bachelard in the 1960s. He is best known as the protagonist of the OSS 117 series, which features him as a suave and somewhat bumbling secret agent. The character is often portrayed as a parody of the classic spy archetype, combining charm with comedic ineptitude. The OSS 117 films, particularly the more recent adaptations starring Jean Dujardin, have gained popularity for their humorous take on espionage and the 1960s spy genre. The character's adventures often involve international intrigue, romance, and a satirical look at cultural stereotypes.
