Irma la Douce
A story of passion, bloodshed, desire and death... everything, in fact, that makes life worth living.
A romantic comedy built on the absurd premise of a man's elaborate scheme to monopolize his prostitute lover's affections, balancing genuine warmth with theatrical artifice and Parisian charm.
When a recently fired policeman falls in love with a French prostitute, he doesn't want her to be with other men, so he creates an alter-ego in order to become her only customer.
