What happens

Elena and Her Men (French: Elena et les Hommes; originally released in English-speaking countries as Paris Does Strange Things) is a 1956 film directed by Jean Renoir and starring Ingrid Bergman, Jean Marais, and Mel Ferrer. It was Bergman's first film after leaving her husband, director Roberto Rossellini. Many film critics see the film as the third entry in a trilogy that also includes The Golden Coach (1952) and French Cancan (1955). A restored copy of the film was released in the early 21st century.
