Title: A Beguiling Movie
Review: Bertrand Morane (Charles Denner) in Francois Truffaut's "The Man Who Loved Women" wants every woman he sees and usually gets and beds them and then writes a book about his conquests. And that's most of what happens in this amusing film by one of the great film directors. Morane is likeable and perhaps lovable and certainly is never cruel to the women he meets. He just is determined to continue making notches on his gun. There is some indication that he was hurt when Vera (Leslie Caron) broke up with him four, five years ago although we are never completely sure-- at least I wasn't-- as to why he seeks quantity over quality. Certainly, however, the women he gets involved with, if just for a night, are for the most part lookers.The movie is beautifully filmed as we see frame after frame of women's gorgeous legs for Morane sees them everywhere. Both the beginning and ending are quite brilliant.A pleasant way to spent two hours of your life.
