Pardon Mon Affaire

Pardon Mon Affaire (French: Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, lit. 'An Elephant Can Be Extremely Deceptive') is a 1976 French romantic comedy film co-written and directed by Yves Robert. It stars Jean Rochefort, Claude Brasseur, Guy Bedos, Victor Lanoux, Danièle Delorme and Anny Duperey. The original title contains a pun in French. The word "trompe" means both "the (elephant's) trunk" and "to cheat" (in the sexual/romantic sense). The film follows a married man's desire to have an affair with a model he just met. The film was followed by the sequel Pardon Mon Affaire, Too! in 1977. An American remake, The Woman in Red, was released in 1984, directed by and starring Gene Wilder.
