6/10
A movie to entertain only

Warning: Spoilers
And nothing more. Too superficial story and plot in terms of events and psychological actions and reactions. A romantic comedy of the kind of cinema (chiefly from Hollywood) used to show in the fifties of last century and that is maybe why the plot takes place in the end of that decade. A girl who lived in a village in Normandy, France aspires not to stay there as a bourgeois married housewife and wants to become a secretary. After being hired by an insurance businessman she astonishes him by her extraordinary typing speed and being himself a competitive person he intends to make her a champion and leads her to take part in typewriting championships first in France and finally in New York. She got first place in all of them and becomes World Typewriting Champion in the end. However a troubled love relationship starts between them because his love for competition conflicts often with his love for her. All this is shown in a very simple way with no special dramatic scenes.
