What happens

Croquemitoufle ou Les Femmes des autres est un film français réalisé par Claude Barma, sorti en 1959. Revenant d’un séjour de deux ans en Terre Adélie, l’explorateur Bernard Villiers retrouve son meilleur ami, Thomas Desjardins, que ses fonctions diplomatiques appellent à Londres. En l’absence de Thomas, Bernard apprend que Catherine, son épouse, s’enfuit avec son collaborateur Michel. Par amitié pour Thomas et toujours plein de ressources, il va suivre le couple et tenter de les séparer. Il en fera tant, qu’il tombera amoureux de Catherine. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
