But Rose wants more from life. Travelling to Normandy, she meets Louis Echard, the dashing boss of an insurance agency who’s hiring a secretary. The interview is a disaster, but Rose reveals a special gift, she can type at an extraordinary speed!

This movie is surprisingly entertaining. I'm not a romcom person but thoroughly enjoyed it and intend to purchase the blu-ray.
