Directed by Robert Lamoureux

Comedy
aka: There Is the Brunette

Film Synopsis

Germain, a second hand car dealer, has a real talent when it comes to conning his customers into buying the most unroadworthy of vehicles.  He has another talent, which is the ability to keep up several amorous liaisons at the same time.  Thanks to his chronic susceptibility for brunettes he now has to meet the romantic demands of four women - Sonia, Anne-Marie, Christine and Sophie.  Of course, the hard part is ensuring that none of these four ever finds out about the existence of the other three.  Germain manages to accomplish this feat for a while, but eventually his luck is bound to run out.  Things begin to go wrong when Germain is visited by a well-built man who threatens him with severe bodily harm unless he leaves his wife alone.  Not knowing the man's name, Germain has no idea which of his four mistresses he must give up, so he opts to do the sensible thing, which is to rid himself of the lot.  Convinced that the jealous man is the husband of the passionate Christine, Germain decides she will be the first to go.  Unfortunately, Christine is not the kind of woman who is easily offloaded.  Germain's troubles have only just begun...

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.
The best French Films of the 1920s
sb-img-3
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.
The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
The very best American film comedies
