The Man Who Loved Women (L'Homme qui aimait les femmes) is a 1977 French comedy-drama film directed by François Truffaut and starring Charles Denner, Brigitte Fossey, Nelly Borgeaud, Genevieve Fontanel, Nathalie Baye, and Leslie Caron.Bertrand Morane (Denner) needs to seduce all the women he meets. For example, he is charmed by a woman he sees briefly getting into a car, so he writes down the licence plate number, he crashes his own car and tells his insurance company he had an accident with the car driven by the woman. Unfortunately, this woman actually lives in Canada and stayed briefly in France. But she is just one of the many women Bertrand tries to seduce.An American remake of the same name, directed by Blake Edwards and starring Burt Reynolds, Julie Andrews, and Kim Basinger, was released in 1983.

Stalking Is Love
 The Man Who Loved Women / int_4b8932a4
comment
Stalking Is Love: The film gives a positive portrayal of Bertrand, who still uses questionable methods to track down the women that he finds attractive. For example, he writes down the licence plate number of a girl, then he tries to get her address, claiming that she has forgotten a camera in her car. Since this does not work, he crashes his own car and claims that he had an accident with the girl. Unfortunately, the car is owned by a car rental company, so he only gets the address of the company. Bertrand then goes to the car rental company to get the address of the girl. Ultimately, he finds out that the girl has left France and lives in Canada. Delphine, another woman that Bertrand tracks down similarly, is unfazed by the methods he used, and starts a relationship with him.

The Casanova: Even if Geneviève Bigey says that he is no Casanova, no Don Juan, Bertrand is a ladykiller who tries to seduce many women and is often successful. He does not become attached to the women he seduces. Actually, Geneviève meant that he is not a classical manly seducer.
