Happy Easter (1984)
Original title: Joyeuses Pâques
Happy Easter is a 1984 French-language comedy movie directed by Georges Lautner, with a running time of 1h 34m. It stars Jean-Paul Belmondo, Sophie Marceau and Marie Laforêt.
Chronic serial womanizer Stephane Margelle drops his wife Sophie off at the airport so she can go away for Easter weekend. He immediately picks up beautiful young Julie, who has just had a fight with her married boyfriend. He gets her back to his apartment and is preparing for a sexy weekend, when his wife suddenly returns home. He makes up a bizarre, on-the-spot, spur-of-the-moment story that the gorgeous girl is actually his long-lost daughter. Julie plays along, but this leads to a whole series of increasingly ridiculous lies and comical situations (such as when her real mother shows up).
