Once in Paris... (1979)

Once in Paris... (1979)
Playwright Frank D. Gilroy wrote and directed this subtle, down-to-earth and autobiographical depiction of an American screenwriter in Paris who befriends his chauffeur and has an affair with a British aristocrat. Wayne Rogers is Michael Moore, an American scenario writer who has traveled to Paris for the first time in his life in order to serve as a script doctor on a troubled film script. Upon arriving at the airport, he's met by his driver Jean-Paul Barbet (Jack Lenoir Gilroy's real-life chauffeur), who has served time in prison for manslaughter. Michael is assured that his chauffeur will be immediately replaced with a driver without a prison record, but Michael lets him stay, and the two become fast friends. All is going along swimmingly until Michael meets his hotel neighbor, attractive upper-class British woman Susan Townsend (Gayle Hunnicutt). ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi
