Le téléphone rose (1975)

A sweet-natured but dim-witted factory owner ruins his prospects over a crush on a call girl in the sudsy French melodrama Le Téléphone rose (1975). Pierre Mondy stars as Benoît Castejac, the owner of a small-town factory desired by a syndicate of American businessmen. In an effort to convince the schlub to sell, the entrepreneurs hire a courtesan (Mireille Darc) to sweeten Benoît up to the idea. Instead the bumbling Frenchman falls head-over-heels for the girl, and the sale--as well as the man’s marriage--ends up distressingly in doubt. What’s not distressing, however, is the rack on Darc--the blonde goddess looks absolutely smoking as she flashes the camera with plenty of pizzazz.
