Un éléphant ça trompe énormément a.k.a Pardon Mon Affaire
Cute French comedy about Etienne (Jean Rochefort), a happily married man and a good father. His friends all have secret affairs and/or cheat on their wives. One morning, Etienne sees a woman in red passing by his car. He falls instantly in love with her and tries everything to get to know her better. Of course, this must be kept a secret from his wife. Remade in the U.S. in the 80's as
The Woman in Red, starring Gene Wilder and Kelly LeBrock.
Nous irons tous au paradis a.k.a We Will All Meet in Paradise
We Will All Meet in Paradise is the frolicking continuation of the hilarious misadventures that made Pardon Mon Affaire a delightful triumph. Director Yves Robert employs a slap-happy, stylish humor to poke more fun at marriage, fidelity, love & friendship. The comedy is wise & loveable in its revealing portrayal of four middle-aged friends who share an insatiable appetite for inflated fantasies & a common quest for faded dreams.
