Trivia This movie was made in 1983, two years after François Mitterrand had been elected President of the French Republic. Mitterrand had a daughter out of wedlock christened Mazarine, which was then nine years old and being raised in utmost secrecy. As in the case of JFK & Marilyn, all the cognoscenti in the French press knew and no one would tell. But Françoise Giroud, a renowned journalist, published in 1983 a 'roman à clefs': "Le bon plaisir" which was a thinly disguised version of the story. As a hidden message to her peers, she had the book published by editions Mazarine! See more »
