One of the most amusing scenes in the film is the one in which Antoine his wife is cheating after he suspects that she had a lesbian relationship with Liliane. Christine caught the two in bed and Antoine talks himself out so that Liliane was wrapped in newspaper after reading his manuscript this. The have so stirred him that he had to sleep with her.
Current terms have the scenes in the courthouse.

If they could not actually, he ( Raoul ) they just put on. Shortly thereafter, however Christine clarifies that the divorce à la Giscard d' Estaing has already been used by Napoleon to get rid of Joséphine.
Reviews
- Filmdienst: Elegant and witty, staged with the empathy of a lovingly interpretive.
- Hans -Christoph Blumenberg in Time, March 2, 1979, right pretty to look at, mildly amusing, and natural. With that discrete elegance visual imagery that is Truffaut in his weaker works available. But ultimately the film remains unsatisfactory arg, little more than the exercise in style of a master, the nothing new will come up, which stops his work already completed for: A film by friendly emptiness.
