Synopsis

About

"Tearing along a top speed, "Madame Petlet's True Story" is an attractive commercial comedy about a TV-writer who creates a hit show by secretly taking her inspiration from her child's nanny. The film is altogether comic with a heavy dose of social satire. In fact, American studios are already vying for the remake rights... The performances are skilful and effortless and should delight family audiences (...). The lively jazz soundtrack and competent camerawork provide the topping for the cake."
(Lisa Nesselson - Variety)
