France/Australia/US (1990): Comedy/Romance
George Faure (Gérard Depardieu) is a Frenchman who has been offered a job in the U.S. But in order to get the job he must obtain a work permit -- a green card, and the easiest way is to marry an America. Bronte Mitchell (Andie MacDowell) is a New Yorker who is a keen horticulturalist and just found the perfect flat with its own greenhouse. Unfortunately the flat is for married couples only. A marriage of convenience seems the ideal solution to both problems. To convince the immigration officers they are married for love, they must move in with each other. As the mismatched couple attempt to cope with life together, they start to fall in love. Written and directed by Peter Weir. (IMDb)
