If a Man Answers

Chantal, from a wealthy family, meets Eugene, a photographer, and they marry before long. Everything goes well at first. Then Chantal starts wondering how to manage her husband and takes advice from her mother. The method her mother gives her is odd, and it comes out of a book on training dogs. Around the same time an envious friend gets involved. Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin take the leads in Henry Levin's romantic comedy; the two were married when it was shot. Micheline Presle plays the mother and Cesar Romero the father. The pattern belongs to the start of the sixties: colourful, fast, without conflict. What the film has to say about marriage looks distinctly dated from here.
