La fête à Henriette

This enchantingly inventive comic jewel—the inspiration for the Audrey Hepburn remake PARIS WHEN IT SIZZLES—is built around a delightfully self-reflexive premise: two screenwriters, torn over whether they should pen a lightweight romantic comedy or a macabre thriller, devise dueling scenarios. As the film they imagine comes to life before our eyes, our heroine, Henriette (Dany Robin), finds herself pulled into increasingly outlandish misadventures.

Starring Dany Robin, Michel Auclair, Hildegard Knef
