The Pink Telephone
...It's the hot line from the boardroom to the bedroom...
A lighthearted 1970s French comedy-drama about business dealings and romantic entanglement in Paris, built on sexual intrigue and social satire rather than emotional depth.
A small industrialist from Toulouse, goes to Paris to negotiate the buyout of his company from an American financial group. During his stay, the representative of the large firm calls on a luxury call girl to facilitate their "business".
