Women Are Like That (French: Comment qu'elle est?) is a 1960 French spy thriller film directed by Bernard Borderie and starring Eddie Constantine, Françoise Brion and Alfred Adam. It is based on the 1945 novel I'll Say She Does by the British writer Peter Cheyney featuring hardboiled FBI agent Lemmy Caution.
