Mo Alexander misses the plane in Paris that is carrying her tour group and her luggage back home, and she finds that it will take several days for the travel agent to solve the problem. In the meantime she meets Xavier, a true Parisian who sees her as an opportunity to enjoy himself while his family is out of town. Mo reluctantly begins an affair with him, wrestling with her conscience all the way. She is a challenge to Xavier's cultural identity so he can't easily dismiss her. They enjoy a beautiful physical and emotional relationship, and in the end, being in love with Mo alters Xavier on a fundamental level. Written by C.D.
A Harlequin Romance type of movie about an American horticulturist marooned in Paris who encounters a married man when the group she is traveling with departs for other countries with her visa. Endlessly contrived situations that break up/make up the relationship between them - however, the charm and acting skill of both leads, Karen Allen and Thierry Lhermitte, together with countless nude scenes, succeeds in overcoming the deficiencies in the script. What the movie is missing most of all is a forceful subplot, which would have added a greater degree of complication and reasons for breaking up and making up. Both leads act well. Hard to understand why Karen Allen never became a bigger star. And interesting to see Thierry Lhermitte, sleek and groomed, in a romantic role instead of the comedic roles he usually plays. And of course there is Paris - which never looked lovelier, more sophisticated and charming. (What time does the next plane leave?) Not a great movie but enjoyable to watch on a rainy afternoon.
