Une Femme Est Une Femme (aka A Woman Is A Woman) (1961)

A performer (Anna Karina) in a striptease cabaret wants a baby from her lover (Jean Claude Brialy) but he's not interested. So she toys with the idea of having a baby with another man (Jean Paul Belmondo) even though she's not in love with him. Written and directed by Jean Luc Godard. Godard is in a playful mood here with cinematic in jokes in this homage to glossy movie romcoms. I've heard the film referred to as a musical but except for a song sung by Karina in the nightclub, there's no singing although everyone seems on the verge of breaking out into song. Hardly a musical but Michel Legrand composed a lush film score and I wouldn't have minded if Jacques Demy swept in and did turn it into a musical. It moves quickly (it runs under 90 minutes) and it's colorful and charming but there's not much substance to it. With Jeanne Moreau, Marie Dubois and Henri Attal.
