Just the Way You Are
She turned a plaster cast into a glass slipper and found the courage to be somebody new... Herself
Directed by Édouard Molinaro
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, United Artists
A warm, character-driven comedy-drama about a talented woman learning to accept herself by confronting her insecurities through a deceptive experiment.
Despite her success as a professional flute player and the constant attention of men around her, Susan Berlanger feels insecure because of her lame right leg. During a European tour, she decides to cover her leg with a cast to see how people will react to her as a nondisabled person.
