Paul Roubaix (Yves Montand) is a top-notch movie maker. The only problem is that everyone attributes his success to his actress wife Lucy Dell (Shirley MacLaine.) To prove to himself and others, he sets out for Japan to do a remake of 'Madame Butterfly', without his wife's participation.
Unknown to him, the studio, reprehensive played by Edward G Robinson, has condemned him to a black and white film. His wife has cooked up a scheme to extricate her husband from the situation.
Will this plan save face or become the downfall of their career and marriage?
One of the filming locations is Tokyo, Japan. I only visited once in 1967 while on R&R. Mostly on the Ginza in the foreign section of the bookstores. I did not recognize any scenes from the movie.
