Val is a French actress who has decided to go all the way. She moves to New York, wanders from audition to audition and, until success comes, scrubs toilets and sidewalks and lives on the street. Jack Gardner was once the great hope of the film industry, with a screenplay that won the Oscar. Today, after his wife has left him, he suffers from impotence in the literal and factual sense of the word. The first meeting between the two does not produce mutual sympathy, not even after he takes her into his apartment when exhaustion overwhelms her. But when Val leaves, slamming the door, he suddenly feels he has found his muse... As in his previous films, Amos Kollek combines urban grit with raw emotions, romantic women full of dreams with the earthly needs that dictate their lives. "Happy End" is a light summery treat whose musical interludes enhance its charm. Most of the praise goes to Audrey Tautou, whose energetic and fresh performance gives the film its emotional heart.
