Looking gorgeous in pictures

For reasons of my own I need to display a cinema poster, which I saw in the tube yesterday.

I have been watching L'Appartment (silly me - I completely missed those Hitchcock references - he likes it too) and this has given me a taste for French Romantic comedies with gorgeous and fascinating women and adoring but decidedly ridiculous not to say ugly men (I wonder why), and, well anyway, here is another that looks promising.

Something about how 'society' (i.e. me and you and everybody) attaches too much importance to looking gorgeous in a picture, a point made (I'm guessing) by making lots of gorgeous pictures (i.e. a movie) about a particularly gorgeous woman …

… (and god help anyone who wasn't gorgeous who was up for that part), and others of the kind of gorgeous woman who can be made up to look non-gorgeous, with done-up hair and glasses, which can then be undone and taken off. …

IMPORTANT NOTE: All these french actresses have distracted me from doing an Important Posting about the play I saw last weekend. I now have no time to do the review of this that I promised in the previous posting. The instructions at the top of that posting about what to do if I did not post this posting immediately are now inopperative. I will try to do the review over the weekend. It's my blog and I'll procrastinate if I want to.
