Trivia:

Françoise and her sister Catherine Deneuve were as different as night and day. While Catherine was cool, calm, remote, and possessed with an edge of mystery about her, Françoise was quite the opposite -- fun, radiant, outgoing, with such joie de vivre. The sisters made three films together: The Door Slams, Male Hunt, and The Young Girls of Rochefort, which is their best remembered. See more »
