Jean Louis and Suzanne have to hire a young Spanish maid. The story revolves around domestic maids which were mostly from Spain in mid 60s Paris.
Maria is hired and Jean Louis falls in love with her and all things from Spain. It helps that he is a nerdy stockbroker 60 and she 35... The biggest flaw in the movie is here--it is not just the age difference-- Luchini is so un-sexy it is difficult imagining anyone wanting to shag him except for remunerative purposes.
This is a feel good drama we all know is exaggerated but still enjoy watching the formula unfold to it's end....which has a little bit too sugary a twist at the end.
I enjoyed the 60s recreated in Paris...time travel does wonders-- and it was just exactly the era and culture I grew up in. I did spot one flaw the time editors didn't catch...in one scene in Spain you can see a 747 taking off in the distance--minor item.
The story is fun and somewhat believable...enjoyable watch.
RECOMMEND
