action
Bertrand Morane is buried in the presence of numerous women. Geneviève Bigey is one of the women, who will later tell about the man and his affairs. The plot begins with Morane falling in love with the legs of an unknown woman, of whom he can only remember her license plate. With a lot of effort, he manages to find out her identity and arrange a meeting, only to have to find out that she covers her legs with pants and that it is by no means the woman he is looking for, only her cousin.
Legs are Morane's passion. He has been interested in women's legs since his youth. He begins to write an autobiographical novel and looks back on his experiences with women from his youth. After completing his book, he will offer it to four major publishers. Due to the personal commitment of the editor Geneviève Bigey, it is accepted and he begins an affair with her when she visits him in Montpellier. After returning to Paris, Morane is hit by the car while checking the legs of another woman on the street. He eventually dies in the hospital trying to see more of a nurse's legs, ripping out his IV tubes in the process.
Reviews
- film-dienst : "Truffaut describes the adventures of an apparent philanderer with humor, sometimes a bit subtle, and interprets them as a search for a dream image, for the secret of the feminine."
In Kay Weniger's Das Großes Personenlexikon the film said that Truffaut started with “The Man Who Loved Women”, [the] story of an obsessive seeker (Charles Denner) for the eternally feminine, an incorrigible womanizer and lovable female leg fetishist. .. stylistically continues the path of nonchalant ease of life that has been taken with " The American Night ".
