action
Rose Pamphyle leaves her small town against her father's wishes and applies to insurance agent Louis Échard as a secretary. Although he initially wants to let her go without a typing test, she convinces him with her skills on the typewriter: Although she only types with two fingers, she can write incredibly quickly. Louis hires her for a week on a trial basis. Rose is happy, but she can do little more than typing. She is clumsy and has no sensitivity towards customers. Louis doesn't want to keep her on after the week ends, but makes her an offer: She takes part in the 1958 regional typing championship. If she wins, he'll hire her. In the run-up, Louis also bets his best friend Bob Taylor about Rose's chances. However, Rose fails the competition because she is not fast enough with two fingers.
Rose is already packing her things when Louis makes her a new offer. She should make a second attempt, but with better conditions. He wants to train them for the next regional championship. To do this, she moves in with him. She learned to write with ten fingers with great difficulty and copied numerous books in the months that followed. At the same time, she takes piano lessons from Louis' former love, Marie, who is now married to Bob. In addition, Rose is active in sports. At the regional championship in 1959, Rose won with 491 strokes per minute and is now the champion of Basse-Normandie . She becomes popular, first in the region, and Louis realizes that she is attractive to men too. His next goal is the French championship, for which Rose begins to practice. Nevertheless, she feels increasingly exploited by Louis, he keeps betting with Bob about her performance. She gets the feeling that he is not interested in the competition and her, but only in himself. When Rose receives from Louis for her birthday a wooden cover for the typewriter keyboard through which she can learn to write blindly, she reacts hurt. Marie makes it clear to Louis that Rose is in love with him. He refuses any relationship, fearing that he will distract Rose from the competition.
Shortly before Christmas, Louis takes a break from the training program. He will be celebrating with his family and will send Rose home too. Her father, however, has other plans and so Rose is at Marie's door in the evening. Rose quickly brings her to Louis and introduces her to his parents as his fiancée. Louis plays along with the game and has a good time with Rose. Louis' parents are also taken with Rose. Soon after, the championship in Paris is due. The evening before the decision, Rose seduces Louis, whose concerns she dismisses by pointing out that he is not the first man in her life. In the championship, Rose makes it to the final, where she competes against the reigning champion and can show the same number of hits at the end. There is a five-minute additional finale, which Rose wins with anger in her stomach: shortly before the start, Louis had informed her that she had a much higher number of strokes than the winner in the rehearsals and he just never told her this.
As French champion, Rose is now facing the World Cup in New York City. She confesses to Louis that she loves him, but he claims he only slept with her because it helped the competition. Nor does he love her. Rose then out of necessity accepts an offer from typewriter manufacturer Japy. She is now being trained and built up as the brand's advertising face. She appears on television and magazine covers, gives autograph sessions, and appears at company promotional events. Japy developed the pink Populaire typewriter for her , with which she finally prepared for the World Cup. The smaller typewriter gives her difficulties. Nevertheless, she manages to get to the final of the world championship and win in final round 1 against the reigning world champion Susan Hunter. Louis, meanwhile, has realized that he loves Rose and has traveled to the World Cup with Bob. He comes into the room when Rose is losing round two. Before the decisive round 3, Rose disappears backstage. Louis goes up to her and tells her that he loves her. This gives her new impetus for the last round, which she now contests against the will of the representatives from Japy on her old typewriter. Although she has to pause briefly to solve stuck types, she wins the world championship with 515 strokes per minute and thus a new world record. However, she only noticed this in passing, as Louis came on stage after the round and they kissed for a long time.

criticism
The film-dienst found that Mademoiselle Populaire “has some narrative substance, even if he only touches on it with exhilaration instead of exploring its complexity.” For Cinema , Mademoiselle Populaire was a “little gem for cinema- Nostalgic ”.
“Mademoiselle Populaire is a current cinema production from France, but Régis Roinsard's love and social drama seems to have fallen out of our time. It's like the movie really comes from the late fifties. "
