Pardon Mon Affaire

Pardon Mon Affaire (original title: Un éléphant ça trompe énormément) is a 1976 French romantic comedy directed by Yves Robert, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jean-Loup Dabadie. The film portrays four tennis-loving friends in their forties, each facing difficulties in his private life; the group is played by Jean Rochefort, Claude Brasseur, Guy Bedos and Victor Lanoux, with Danièle Delorme and Anny Duperey in the leading female roles. The story centers on a married man's desire to begin an affair with a model he has just met, and the French title contains a pun, since "trompe" means both an elephant's trunk and to cheat romantically.

The film was a major success in France and abroad, and Claude Brasseur won the César Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1977. Yves Robert directed a sequel, Nous irons tous au paradis, in 1977, and Gene Wilder made the American remake The Woman in Red in 1984.
