Une femme est une femme

"Is this a tragedy or a comedy? Either way, it's a masterpiece."

Sep 6 1961 Not Rated 1h 25m
Comedy, Drama, Romance

Longing for a baby, a stripper pursues another man in order to make her boyfriend jealous.

Plot

Sometimes, solemn but somehow empty vows of love and devotion are just not good enough, and a simple "I love you" may prove to be insufficient. As a result, Angela, a tall, slender, and graceful exotic dancer, has set her sights on talking her unwilling lover, Émile, into starting a family; however, he seems absorbed with his other passion: cycling. But, Angela wants a child, and she takes no for an answer. Could Alfred Lubitsch, a handsome neighbour and Émile's bosom friend, lend a hand? And, what happens when a pressing demand turns into a misunderstanding, and love transforms into jealousy?
