    • Trivia
      Last movie from Claude Sautet, before his death in 2000. He was reportedly so happy by the public and critical reception of the movie that he didn't feel the need to make another one.
    • Goofs
      The movie title in French is "Nelly et Mr. Arnaud", but even though it's a common mistake, "Mr." isn't short for "Monsieur", it means "Mister". "Monsieur" is written "Mr" without the period.
    • Quotes

      Nelly: [In a fancy restaurant] There are more waiters than customers here.

      Monsieur Arnaud: That explains the prices. You saved my life,

      [by giving him a back massage]

      Monsieur Arnaud: so that ruled out McDonald's.

    A gorgeous young woman, an older man's respectful desire...

    What a beautiful, tender film...melancholy in tone, with an underlying sense of passion! I was so moved by it I was inspired to write a poem . There might be those (militant feminists, perhaps) who would object to the theme of an older man yearning (but discreetly) for a beautiful much younger woman...but I found it not only true to life, but humanly evocative. What a genius for film-making...Claude Sautet..("Un Coeur En Hiver" his masterpiece, in my opinion). He will be sadly missed. Thank you and farewell, M.Sautet.
