Le Miroir à Deux Faces
''Le Miroir à deux faces'' is a 1958 French drama film directed by André Cayatte who co-wrote screenplay with Gérard Oury, Jean Meckert and Denis Perret. The film stars Michèle Morgan, Bourvil and Ivan Desny. It was called ''The Mirror Has Two Faces'' in English, but this is not the literal translation; the word is ''à'' ("with") not ''a'' ("has"), and so would be better translated as ''The Two-Sided Mirror''. The film was loosely remade in the U.S. as ''The Mirror Has Two Faces'' (1996) adapted by Richard LaGravenese, and starring Barbra Streisand and Jeff Bridges. Synopsis Pierre Tardivet, a professor, marries Marie-José Vauzange, a sensitive and intelligent girl who is physically unattractive.
