Désiré (1996) - film review
Bernard Murat
Comedy

Summary
Désiré would be the perfect valet were it not for his
unerring ability for stealing the heart of every woman he meets.
Désiré’s latest employer, a minister named Montignac, has
no notion of his philandering past but it isn’t long before his
mistress, the beautiful Odette, falls for his charms. During a
stay in Deauville, Odette utters Désiré’s name in her
sleep and her household soon begins to suspect that she is having an
affair with the valet. Despite his suspicions, Montignac must
return to Paris to deal with a change of government, leaving Odette and
Désiré alone together...
