A Matter of Resistance
Directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau
Produced by Les Productions de la Guéville, Ancinex
A light romantic comedy set against the backdrop of WWII and D-Day, where a bored wife navigates the attentions of multiple men while her husband remains oblivious to the war and intrigue around them.
In the countryside near Normandy's beaches lives Marie, unhappy. It's 1945, she's married to Jérôme, a somewhat fussy milquetoast, diffident to the war around him and unwilling to move his wife to Paris, where she longs to live, shop, and party. A German outfit is bivouacked at Jérôme and Marie's crumbling château because its commanding officer is pursuing Marie. She's also eyed by a French spy working with the Allies as they plan D-Day. He woos her (posing to the Germans as her brother) and, in his passion, forgets his mission. Heroics come from an unexpected direction, and Marie makes her choice.
