Plots(1)
Joanna Scott (Linda Hamilton) whose husband has just left her for a younger woman, is a prominent New York journalist assigned to do a story on a secretive and successful Paris madam. Though not interested at first writing the 'sexposé', she realizes that a month in Paris might do her good. Soon after meeting the sophisticated and successful Madame Simone (Jacqueline Bisset), Joanna finds herself the one being interviewed. It doesn't take long for this worldly madam to size up Joanna and strip away her cold veneer. What is revealed is an insecure woman who needs to feel desirable again. Like a modern day Pygmalion who educates and refines beautiful women, Madame Simone offers her expertise in helping Joanna rediscover her sexuality and sense of self. (official distributor synopsis)
