What happens
The Lady Banker (1980) (original French title La Banquière), is a French drama film directed by Francis Girod, written by Georges Conchon and Francis Girod, starring Romy Schneider, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Marie-France Pisier, Claude Brasseur, Jean-Claude Brialy, Daniel Auteuil and Thierry Lhermitte; the music is by Ennio Morricone. The film's screenplay, which was fictionalized, was inspired by the real life story of Marthe Hanau, who in the 1920s and the 1930s, famously defrauded many small investors of millions of francs by promoting stocks and securities of shell or non-existent companies belonging to her friends and business partners.
