What is La Peau Douce (The Soft Skin) about?
Pierre Lachenay is a well-known publisher and lecturer, married to Franca and father of Sabine. He starts a love affair with air hostess Nicole, which Pierre is hiding, but he cannot stay away from her.
The Soft Skin is a 1964 romantic drama film directed by François Truffaut and starring Jean Desailly, Françoise Dorléac and Nelly Benedetti. Written by Truffaut and Jean-Louis Richard, it follows a married successful writer and lecturer who meets and has an affair with a flight attendant half his age. The film was shot on location in Paris, Reims, and Lisbon, and several scenes were filmed at Paris-Orly Airport. At the 1964 Cannes Film Festival, the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or. Despite Truffaut's recent success with Jules and Jim and The 400 Blows, The Soft Skin did not do well at the box office.
