Elena and Her Men (Elena et les hommes) (Directors Suite) (1956)

Renoir's classic comedy of spectacle and political hijinks stars the gorgeous Ingrid Bergman as Elena, a Polish princess who drives the men wild.

Elena believes she was born to be the guardian angel of great causes and great men who are yet to be discovered. It is only when men need her that she is interested in them, abandoning them when they have accomplished their career goals. After encountering the dashing Henry de Chevincourt, to whom she feels an attraction, Elena is introduced to General François Rollan, who has just been appointed Minister of War. But the General is bait for some conniving politicians who wish to turn the hero into a dictator, and so Elena must put her feelings for Henry aside in order to come to the aid of the General...and France.
