Conseiller: Does he still believe in the tooth fairy?
Irène de Fontenoy: Yes. The tooth fairy, Santa, all that stuff.
Conseiller: I think brainwashing them like that is just ridiculous.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: I agree. Filling kids' heads with stories about fairies, Santa, and God will turn them into nothing but half-wits.
Conseiller: I agree about the fairies and Santa, but not God. God exists, my dear.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: That's a good one! You hear that Irène?
Irène de Fontenoy: I believe in it all. Everything astonishes me.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: You're that gullible?
Irène de Fontenoy: I'm still a little girl inside.

Versions alternatives
The movie has two very different endings. In the original French version, Marco was diagnosed with an hysterical pregnancy which saddens both him and Irène. As they finally get married Irène begins to feel sick and joyously tells Marco that she is pregnant. In the Italian ending, Marco realizes that he was misdiagnosed and suddenly goes into labor just before his wedding, though the baby is not shown. Afterwards, men everywhere suddenly begin having pregnancy symptoms.

The Hormone Fed Chicken Theory of male pregnancy

Marcello Mastroianni is a driving instructor. His common-law wife Catherine Deneuve is a hairdresser. He's not feeling well one day so he sees a doctor, who suspects he might be pregnant.

There are many funny set pieces in this movie.

The initial visit to his general practitioner where she suspects pregnancy.

Back home, Mastroianni has to reassure a nearly hysterical Deneuve he doesn't have a fatal illness without telling her he's pregnant.

Together they go to the gynecologist for confirmation. Get a load of the way the specialist explains his theory of how men can get pregnant. If his theories hold water, male GenZers will be the solution to our birth-rate crisis.

And then back at work, trying to tell his co-worker.

What makes the movie funny to me is that everybody underplays it. Unlike in American movies where, say, Tom Hanks would be yelling his lines or Adam Sandler would be talking like a r3trrd, or Jim Carey would be pulling faces. Everyone here understands that the premise is ridiculous so to avoid descending into farce they play it straight.

As funny as it is, it's rewarding if you pay attention to what they're talking about. They get in their digs about gender equality. It's very much a movie inspired by the women's liberation movement of the 60s yet somehow it's still topical and fresh in 2024.
