    A gross misreading of Bourvil's character.
    This review is an answer to Eric Sayettat's review: Eric, the husband did not "love her for what she was". He wanted an ugly wife. He was assured that an ugly wife would need him, never cheat on him and never leave. Once she is no longer ugly, a development neither of them could have expected, that assurance collapses. He doesn't love his wife, he uses her.

    With that in mind, the film poses an interesting idea when the surgeon "makes his pitch" to the husband: With a woman who is so intelligent and sensitive, why shouldn't her beautiful inside be matched by a beautiful outside? Which leads to the question, if she were born with a beautiful outside, would she have been so admirable? Would she have needed to be?
