Madame Claude (1977)
Directed by Just Jaeckin

Comedy / Drama
aka: The French Woman

Film Synopsis

Madame Claude caters for the luxury end of the prostitution racket, offering a privileged service to men in high places in the political and business spheres.  She prides herself not only on the quality of the merchandise she offers to satisfy every fantasy her clients care to indulge in, but also on her discretion.  Alas, Madame Claude's employees are not quite so discrete and David, a young photographer, puts her business in peril when he begins blackmailing her customers with compromising photographs...
