Summary
Fed up with being taken for granted by her husband and children, housewife and mother
of two Annie Larcher gets herself a job as a receptionist in a maternity clinic.
When it becomes clear that husband Jean-Pierre cannot cope without a woman about the house,
Annie gives up her job and instead decides to start a career as a writer. Her first
novel turns out to be a bestseller – but this only further widens the rift between herself
and her husband...
Review
Popular actress Annie Girardot gives an ebullient performance in this lively mix of social
satire and farce, a light-hearted take on women’s lib at the time when feminist movement
was at its height. It is surprising how relevant much of the film still is, thirty
years on, suggesting that female equality in the workplace and at home still has a long
way to go. Although the narrative suffers from a lack of cohesion towards the end
and some of the visual jokes are little silly, this is an engaging comedy with plenty
of good laughs, courtesy of a very talented cast.
