aka: Are You Engaged to a Greek Sailor or an Airline Pilot?
Film Synopsis
Blanchard has it all - a wife, two children, an important post at the
Ministry of Culture, and a mistress to spend his Saturdays with... But
he is bored with all of it - his nagging wife, his irritating brats, a
tedious job and a mistress who is indifferent to him. How easy it
is to throw all this away when he falls for his new secretary.
When his wife finds out he has been unfaithful to her, Blanchard makes
up his mind on the spur of the moment to leave her...

The best French Films of the 1920s
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.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
