About La maîtresse
Linda leaves the modest family home and decides to go off and make a life for herself. She finds a job as a secretary for a married man who woos her, snubs a libertine seducer and finally finds love with Frédéric, a young and handsome millionaire racing driver in his spare time. Alas, the man she tenderly loves ends up marrying another.
Directed by Anton Van De Water, La maîtresse leans on a strong ensemble — Marc Bellier, Diane Boucher, Catherine Bégin — 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 1973.
