    • Quotes

      Conseiller: Does he still believe in the tooth fairy?

      Irène de Fontenoy: Yes. The tooth fairy, Santa, all that stuff.

      Conseiller: I think brainwashing them like that is just ridiculous.

      Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: I agree. Filling kids' heads with stories about fairies, Santa, and God will turn them into nothing but half-wits.

      Conseiller: I agree about the fairies and Santa, but not God. God exists, my dear.

      Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: That's a good one! You hear that Irène?

      Irène de Fontenoy: I believe in it all. Everything astonishes me.

      Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: You're that gullible?

      Irène de Fontenoy: I'm still a little girl inside.

    No Big Belly Laughs
    When Marcello Mastroianni is feeling run down, Catherine Deneuve is worried that he is going to die and leave her and their eight-year-old son, so she hectors him into seeing her doctor. It turns out he's pregnant.

    Jacques Demy's dry satire has an increasingly big-bellied Mastroianni walking around with a befuddled expression, while the world spins slightly out of control around him. Everyone in picture takes the events very calmly and seriously, and everyone is mildly congratulatory towards the expectant father. The few jokes are mild and of the biter-bit variety and, except for the sequence when he gets involved in a campaign of clothing for pregnant men, there isn't much to this trifle.

    Given the date of its release and the birth of his son, Mathieu, I suspect Demy started writing it when Agnes Varda offered some irritated comments on her pregnancy.
