After his successful forays into the musical (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Young Ladies of Rochefort), Jacques Demy traveled to Los Angeles to produce his first American film. Continuing the story of his title character from Lola, once again played by Anouk Aimée, Demy puts his heroine at the center of a whirlwind relationship with a disaffected architect. The film’s soundtrack was produced by the rock group Spirit, and features Fred Willard in a bit part as a gas station attendant.
