Danish actress Anna Karina in the French film 'L'Alliance' (1971) wearing a long shiny black PVC mac. She's seen in the mac in two short scenes at 31 minutes 58 seconds in and then again at 34 minutes and 44 seconds in. She's then seen in it in a longer third scene of just over four minutes starting at 45 minutes in and going through until 49 minutes and 6 seconds. Enjoy!

God bless French women. So many of the films with lovely shiny raincoats are French, and even today when the U.K. for instance, has become a desert for such rainwear, our Gallic sisters continue to wear shiny macs. Bonne chance, mes amies!

Agree wholeheartedly with you Priscilla - I love watching old French films and coming across mac scenes like the ones in this clip and the other one I put up earlier today of Dany Carrel in her light blue PVC mac. They've given us so much down the years. My favourite one has got to be 'Faubourg Saint Martin' with Françoise Fabian in that wonderful shiny black PVC mac that she wears in many scenes. Vive la France!Priscilla wrote: August 19th, 2020, 9:13 am God bless French women.

Love those Françoise Fabian scenes. French actresses certainly know how and when to wear macs. Catherine Deneuve looked superb in "Belle de Jour" and one of the other "ladies" at the salon asked to borrow her mac to wear for one of her clients.

Cheers mate! Oh yes indeed - I absolutely LOVED Catherine Devenuve in 'Belle de Jour' - a true classic film that one and a what a lovely mac she wore in it! She wears macs in other films too. Another of my favourite French actresses is Michèle Morgan - loved the (now vintage!) plastic macs she wore in 'Joan of Paris' and 'Port of Shadows'. I think she was one of the forerunners for French ladies wearing plastic/PVC macs in films.WealdenMac wrote: August 20th, 2020, 2:56 pm Love those Françoise Fabian scenes.
