Plot
A planter marries a woman by mail and she is not who she says.
Sinekatalog’s take
François Truffaut's Hitchcockian romance has Jean-Paul Belmondo marrying a mail-order bride who isn't who she says. Catherine Deneuve is cool and lovely, and the film's mad-love pull outshines its uneven plot.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
