A delightfully classic French comedy of high sophistication and light hearted wit, that in the end suffers for it.

What spoils it is the stereotypical and under developed second characters and an overly wistful outlook. But I defy any man watching this film not to fall madly for Aimee and everyone will cherish the scenes between Aimee and Maurice.
