Though he apparently has his pick of every female in Paris, Montand eventually limits his love life to two: Girardot and a beautiful but blank American model (Candice Bergen).

Backing them up are a squad of sylphish soldiers dressed in mufti: the cunningest white booties, fishnet T shirts, lavender and puce shorts. Backing them up is an inconstant nympho (Candice Bergen) who moves with the natural fluid grace of a hand puppet...
