About Mistress for a Couple
Georges is head over heels in love with Claire. Since he still has nice feelings towards his wife (Brigitte) he would like to simply divorce, but she has the money. He decides to ask two killers Max and Edmond to do the job. Brigitte, being a gorgeous lady, has no trouble seducing both men and ruling them. So she asks them to kidnap Claire and have some fun with her. They film the scene and show it to the husband.
Directed by Jean-Claude Roy, Mistress for a Couple leans on a strong ensemble — Brigitte Lahaie, Christine Lodes, Julia Perrin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1980.
