Model Shop is a 1969 drama film written and directed by Jacques Demy.Gary Lockwood, cinematically best known for getting murdered by a computer the year before, plays George Matthews, an aspiring architect in Los Angeles. The only problem is that George is reluctant to design gas stations, strip malls, and the other kinds of projects that just-starting-out architects might be expected to work on, having visions of grand creation. As a result he is broke and unemployed and living in the beach cottage owned by his girlfriend Gloria (Alexandra Hay), a model and aspiring actress who is tired of George's shiftlessness and suggests that they break up. George is also facing the prospect of being drafted into The Vietnam War.If all that weren't depressing enough, the snazzy convertible he bought with money he didn't have is going to be repossessed the very next day if he can't come up with $100. While out and about visiting acquaintances in an effort to scrounge up the money, George sees an exotically beautiful woman in a white dress walking down the street, and follows her to a mansion in the hills. A few hours later he sees her again in the street and follows her to an entirely different destination: a seedy "model shop" where attractive young ladies take their clothes off and horny dudes with cameras take pictures of them. Eventually George learns that the woman, a Frenchwoman named Cecile (Anouk Aimée) who strips under the name "Lola", is a lonely divorcee who's trying to get the money to return home to her teenaged son in France. The two lonely people form a tentative connection.One of only three English-language films directed by Demy, who is better known for French musicals. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Model Shop / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: George breaks up with Gloria. Cecile, as she told him she would, heads straight to the airport and leaves for France (she was already packed). As we see George talking on the phone with Cecile's roommate, his car is repossessed. And in a couple of days he's going to be inducted into the army. | |

| Model Shop / int_58970413 | comment |
Coincidental Broadcast: Whenever George hears the news on the radio, it's never about how the Lakers or Dodgers or doing, never about the stock market or traffic on the freeways. Nope, it's always about the progress of Vietnam War peace talks. | |

The Last DJ | |
| Model Shop / int_60b4a128 | comment |
The Last DJ: George's problem, in that he's fixated on grand creative architectural work and can't lower his standards enough to get a paying job designing, say, an office building. Similarly, when Gloria's excited at the prospect of getting a part in a soap commercial that's going to involve her clad in nothing but suds, George sneers that other actresses get their starts doing Shakespeare. | |

| Model Shop / int_a7ec3027 | comment |
Rom Com Job: Architect. Just the kind of thing for a frustrated young man filled with grand dreams, as opposed to, say, ditch-digging or pizza delivery. | |

Love at First Sight | |
| Model Shop / int_a8dcb1d7 | comment |
Love at First Sight: George is telling Cecile that he loves her within hours of their first meeting. Cecile says "It can't be very serious, can it?", but later apologizes, and obviously is forming a bond with George by the time she's spilling her whole life story to him. | |

Bikini Bar | |
| Model Shop / int_cb59db4e | comment |
Bikini Bar: Averted. While Cecile never takes off her underwear during her photo shoot with George, it's simply because he doesn't ask her to; the photos on the walls prove that the girls in the model shop will get naked if asked. | |
