François Perrin is a professional photographer who is keen to
forge a new career for himself in cinema. With his friend Henri
he writes a script, a classic love story, but for some reason no one
seems interested in financing the film. In the end, the script
falls into the lap of Bob Morlock, a producer of pornographic movies,
who agrees (after a few minor alterations) to make the film under the
title La Vaginale.
Ignoring the protestations of his fiancée Christine,
François accepts Morlock's offer, unaware that Christine intends
to play the main role in the film. Things go from bad to worse
when Christine finds Morlock's secretary, Marie-France, in her
fiancé's wardrobe...

The greatest French Films of all time
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
