Synopsis:This 1960s French farce, written by Marc Camoletti and translated by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans, follows Parisian bachelor Bernard, who juggles three airline fiancées — Italian, German, and American — each with frequent “layovers.” By carefully managing their flight schedules, he ensures the women never meet… until unexpected changes bring all three to his apartment at the same time.
