What happens

A Woman Is a Woman (French: Une femme est une femme) is a 1961 experimental musical romantic comedy film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Anna Karina and Jean-Claude Brialy. A tribute to the American musical comedy and associated with the French New Wave, it is Godard's third feature film (the release of his second, Le petit soldat, was delayed by censorship), and his first in color and anamorphic widescreen.
