Belle de Jour (1967)
This French romantic drama stars the impossibly glamorous Catherine Deneuve as Séverine, a married woman who begins working at a high-class brothel to investigate her own curiosity.
After initial reluctance, she begins to find excitement and thrills in her new life, and even her relationship with her husband improves.
This being a movie made in 1967, of course bad things happen — but not necessarily because of her new line of work. Problems arise when Marcel (Pierre Clémenti), with whom she initially has an exciting affair, turns jealous and violent.
